Trying to find a post COVID clinic

Posted by foxpride @foxpride, Oct 22, 2021

I was hospitalized with covid for 8 days November 2020. Since then my body seems to be deteriorating little by little. I could not return to work due to health issues. The most recent problem started April 2021, severe joint pain and swelling with a sudden onset of carpal tunnel and neuropathy in both hands which required surgery. I’ve tried all sorts of anti inflammatory meds. My daily life has been compromised by this insidious disease. I can’t exercise but occasionally. I can see that I’ve lost muscle. I’m 60 and feel 80. I’d like to get help from a post covid clinic or volunteer for research but I can’t seem to find anything close to Indianapolis IN. Any help would be appreciated.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

Post-Covid Syndrome may end up being the most insidious and long-lasting result of this pandemic. It seems the stories are finally being recognized, and exactly how to handle the effects is developing daily.
There is a group called Survivor Corps - Here are the resource they list for Indianapolis: https://www.survivorcorps.com/pccc-in. Have you tried them? Also, any multi-disciplinary rehab facility may be able to adapt a PT progeam for you.

Hi @foxpride, just checking in. Did you find a post-COVID clinic or specialist near you? You might also be interested in this discussion:

I have checked with the clinic in Indianapolis. I’m currently working with my GP. The covid clinic wants all my medical records before they’ll talk to me. Taking it step by step.
