Wooden feeling and function on leg muscles

@bettyjackson, the few studies that investigated the mild to moderate cases of COVID-19 clearly pointed out that the viral disease affects the musculoskeletal system. Read more here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2022.813924/full
Others have mentioned pain and/or numbness, but your symptoms seem different. You say you have no pain.
@jcg wrote about reactive arthritis here:

And @lynn32 started this discussion a few days ago
- Tingling/numbness in face, arms and legs. Walk isn't normal https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/tinglingnumbness-in-face-arms-and-legs-walk-isnt-normal/
Does the feeling come and go or is it constant?

Thank you for the links! The feeling comes and goes. Some days more intense then others. I don't notice it when I first wake up and lying in bed. Usually it's about 5 to 10 minutes before I slowly start feeling the sensations. Typically starts either in my right arm or my right side of the face. And thus far I have not ever experienced any pain. I still have my strength (grip, etc.) but I get fatigued easily. Again some days worst then others.
