Joint inflammation and muscle pain after COVID

Hi, I'm new to this group and just wondered if anyone else was experiencing joint and muscle pain post covid. I had covid back in August 2021 and 4 months later the muscle and joint pain is awful! I actually have swollen knots on my elbows. I have also lost over half of my hair since this all started. I went to my PCP and she has done blood work and we are waiting on results but in the meantime I'm living on Tylenol. Anyone have any advice or something that has helped them?

Welcome KD. I'm sorry to hear that you're still dealing with post-COVID symptoms. Muscle and joint pain seems to be a common symptom that several members are dealing with like @foxpride @jloudon @nant @poppy1946 @rolla0812

I hope that you will find solutions that will help reduce your dependency on Tylenol. Is massage, PT or light stretching helpful?
