You confirmed my suspicions with my painful right rotator cuff and both gluteus Maximus muscle under my butt. Just got over a month long cold along with very painful muscle pain. My orthopedic physician isn't putting the butt pain and shoulder pain and cold virus together.
I am physically active and had started using the rowing machine at the gym. I wasn't sore from over doing the rowing but the virus seemed to attack muscles that had been stressed. After a month long cold and painful muscles your diagnosis really sounds similar to my problem. Muscles should have recovered by now.
Thank you. I will take your experience to my orthopedic and rheumatologist.

I guess I should say it is possible it could still be a tendon/tendinopathy issue… This is why I was referred to rheumatology after I’d already tried a few months of good PT with no change. It’s hard to tell the difference between that and an underlying condition.
Because if it is, those do take notoriously long to heal and to a few people’s points, doctors will usually prescribe rest, ice, and NSAIDs and then usually call it a day. But I learned from my PT that tendon injuries can cause lingering pain because the tendon fibers don’t get always get aligned neatly as before, which can cause pain. So there’s specific exercises to help. It was just that we learned those didn’t help me because there was an inflammatory/autoimmune component to my pain!
I hope you’re able to find answers and relief.
