I had Covid in 2020 and initially had poor balance leg weakness and electrical shocks down my arms and legs. Eventually everything except the poor Balance and leg weakness. I’ve had five mri and still no diagnosis. Some days my legs feel OK other days they feel heavy and jelly like and I always have balance issues. Are used to walk 2 miles a day and now my legs are so tired bye two or 3 PM. I have to take a rest, thankfully I have a job where I sit down and I can make my own hours. Anyone else have symptoms like this?

My mother has this, but worse. She never has a day where she can walk without a walker and my steadying her from behind. Some days her legs feel like cement and they stick to the floor and some days she is also unable to move her trunk, can't turn over in bed, and her torso also sways. We have been to so many doctors. Found a great long covid doctor who is trying different modalities and one more movement disorder neurologist this week.

You are not alone.

It is so frustrating not having a duagnosis. I don't know if it is because the virus is still lingering in my body that I am still having these issues or if it is permanent damage. I have a relative that just got better after 4 years of long covid.All of her issues have resolved.I am 2 years in.
