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?

I was taking nsaids daily until my stomach started to reject them. I'm out on disability until I can find a way to treat the pain. I also have issues with post exercise chronic fatigue to which my job is nearly impossible since it consists of a very high level of physical exertion. An 8 hour day consists of 15 miles of fast paced walking along with lifting and stacking 2 to 3k boxes many as heavy as 60lbs. We are very understaffed so we're forced into 10 to 12 hour shifts along with forced overtime on our days off. I love the job and could do it without issues prior to covid. I don't want to leave the company for a lower paying office job but fear I may have no choice if my disability runs out before I find treatment for this long covid nightmare.
