I have ongoing LC symptoms, however they rotate. Cough, brain fog, balance, fatigue...the other is a muscle ache in both biceps, that come and go. It doesn't matter if I have exercised or not. I use Voltarin cream for relief, especially at night. It's good intant temporary relief for me.

@srqqd, ME TOO! I didn’t have brain fog, cough, fatigue, but did have copious congestion and the muscle ache in biceps is crazy! It’s intermittent, but flares most days. I push through my workouts, sometimes rest them to see if that helps. Maybe I need PT. Think my ITBS has flared too. Ugh…..

Yes, I had covid jan 2025. Ive had flare ups and severe leg an buttock pain. Now vericose veins have shown up in my legs. Very big veins. I have long covid and I don't know where to get help. Most doctors aren't educated on how to deal with it yet. I heard what may be a rumor, but they saId a Pfizer vaccine caused long covid.

My mom has the back of her legs hurt her every morning. When she wakes up she can hardly walk. They’ve taken X-rays and say it’s nothing. She says it feels like her muscles are grabbing her. She too has LC.

Long Covid affecting my walking and more head pressure

I believe I have had at least 5 episodes of LC. Three months each. During one in October, it was bad. My legs felt like rubber. I drank several glasses of water and it seemed to help. I am not sure if you would call it LC as I may have a histamine intolerance/mast cell activation syndrome problem and that can overlap with LC symptoms. But it always happens during or right after Covid.

kjdrak01, Hi....just wanted to say that if you're having leg and buttock pain, you should ask your doctor for xrays because you may have osteoarthritis of your hip. That is what caused my leg/groin/buttock pain.

The only way I knew to even test for Covid last year was that my legs had this weird achiness that I experienced many years ago when I had a virus. Now with Long Covid my legs ache sometimes lightly and often deeply, its the only way I can describe it, mostly quads and hamstrings, sometimes both my whole legs. Occasionally I get quick sharp pains in my quads all since long covid, never before. PEM makes them worse, moist heat and magnesium cream and an herbal cream I found at a local herbal apothecary all help to at least ease the aching at times. I have a difficult time standing for any real length of time. I have to sit to do most things. My legs don't feel weak, they feel deeply achy and fatigued every day. I find it hard to explain it to people who have never had this experience. Anyone else find this to be their experience?

annies444, I had leg pain/issues same as you. Was not sure what was causing it. After a few months my doctor did xrays and then an MRI, which showed I had very severe/advanced osteoarthritis of my hip. I had to wait 3 months for surgery but it was super successful and I now feel like a brand new woman! 100% normal and feels like nothing was ever wrong! I'm so happy... don't give up on trying to figure out what is wrong... maybe you don't have to live like that forever..... I was really afraid I was going to have to live with the pain forever.... thank God I didn't.

Gosh, so many of us have been affected by this darn virus,. It affects every system in our body. As many of you already know, I'm 83 years old and 4+ years post-covid. I am way better than I was.
I have heard that many of us have micro-clots as a result of being infected with covid and/or the vaccinations. In my opinion, this could lead to blood- clot issues *period*. Please as your doctor to check for any clotting issues.
In addition, my journey of recovery has led me to some *very helpful* and *free* online sources
I encourage everyone to visit these free YouTube channels: #1 Gez Medinger (he's one of us and still working on recovering going on 5 years now) #2 Bateman Horne Center (they speak our language) #3 Broken Battery (helpful when trying to explain your condition to family and friends) #4 Raelan Agle (full of recovery stories and advice) #5 Ally Boothroyd for YogaNidra meditation (addresses deep rest and restoration of the nervous system which seems to be at the heart of many of our symptoms)
I have found help I can use in all these places.
My best to one and all.
Pam
