Long Covid joint pains

Posted by coopm0m @coopm0m, Sep 5 9:40am

Does anyone have joint pain? I’ve had joint pain since having Covid 11/2020. It started in my hips, big toes, and thumbs. It was random and would come and go. Today, I am bothered with it constantly. My hands with the thumbs being the worst and the rest of the fingers seem to come and go. The ball of my feet are pretty constant. My hips are very painful where I need to move slower when changing positions like sit to stand. A few of my labs are abnormal but nothing my providers are alarmed with, likely indicate inflammation. Honestly, this whole long covid has progressively gotten worse for me (fatigue & brain fog are still terrible). I have stayed off Dr. Google or searching for long covid issues because I didn’t want to talk myself into any symptoms. Unfortunately, I have so many of them. I do feel alone. I almost feel like an outcast because I “look” ok and yet this is debilitating. (I have not worked since 5/2021 and have been thankfully supported by my husband). I sort of stopped venting or talking about myself because most people can’t relate and they are fatigued of hearing about it. I am tired of me not feeling well too.Will this ever end? (Sorry, my thoughts have strayed.)
