This is a newer symptom for me. I got sick with covid January 2021. Over the past few months I started having tingling in my toes and fingers, that turned into arthritis like pain in my hands, wrists, elbows, feet, ankles.
I'm going for an EMG today.

Madigan, any update? Did you learn anything from the EMG?

Hello, I too have many symptoms similar to yours. Wrists, elbows, knees, fingers, and neuropathy throughout my entire body. The neuropathy was so bad in my legs I was tested for MS, carpal tunnel, spinal issues, and everything checks out fine. No explanation other than “the vaccination could be causing it” and “you should get better” the scariest thing is no Dr really knows why or how long we will be dealing with this terrible pain! I haven’t been able to work since I woke October 30 2021 with severe swelling in both hand and forearms that I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel at the ER and later told I didn’t have carpal tunnel. Tested for MS and that came back negative. Tested for Lupus, rheumatologist arthritis and both came back negative. I have been so terrified of my future and if I’ll ever be able to take care of myself again!

I appreciate your sharing your story. I am sorry you too are dealing with this! I know it’s debilitating pain, fatigue, and the not knowing is so hard!

We need answers not excuses!
