I didn't have any of the symptoms I mentioned prior to my covid infection. Keeping a journal of my symptoms is a good idea. I don't really notice my chronic pain symptoms unless I'm actively working. I'm currently on a leave of abscense until I can learn what's causing my chronic foot and joint pain. I have an appointment with a podiatrist may 6th, but I feel like my foot along with my joint pain has a neurological connection or something that's increasing my inflammation. I work a very active job in warehousing that consists of 15 miles of fast paced walking along with lifting and stacking 2 to 3k boxes, many as heavy as 50lbs or more. Before covid i could do this job without issue. Since covid it's been 8 to 10 hours of suffering. I love being active and don't want to return to a lower paying desk job so I'm hoping to get answers from this group along with various Facebook covid long hauler groups I'm a member of. I hope my hematologist will also provide some answers as most of what I've learned is purely anecdotal.

Hello @stoneydintheloo and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. As @colleenyoung mentioned, keeping a journal can be so helpful when tracking symptoms and changes. I am sorry to hear of the way this has affected you and your ability to do your job.

How have you been coping with the pain during your shift?
