I'm sorry. Not sure of the connection between the hip and covid, or why burning is not pursued? Again, there exists no specific treatment of long covid based on long covid as a diagnosis. If you re not being treated for the intense burning maybe go to a pain center. The brain fog, etc. is something that a long covid clinic can pursue if it stemmed from covid and is now chronic, but know long haulers who also work with their primary docs.. Not sure what common safe treatments you are referring to? May be time to seek out some new doctors as most would not dismiss your symptoms based on age. Maybe leave the city you live in and someone here can direct you to someone? I wish you you the best of luck.

All my joints hurt from covid Lower Back, Neck, Left and right hip, the whole side of my head ... which I believe to be a nerve problem caused by Covid. Of course, being 74 I have had aches and pain for a couple of decades. However, the pain in my right hip (Replaced in 1995 and reconstruction in 2008 quickly took over the other nerve-joint pains. More intense and since I had been warned about getting it infected (years of taking antibiotics prior to dental work) I was concerned and wanted it checked out as Covid has been linked to bone disease and inflammation of arthritis. So that is my link to Covid. My primary care doctor referred me for an X-Ray which showed bone erosion on the right hip so he followed up with osteoporosis scan on the left hip (good one) and it showed no osteoporosis and I guess he felt I was healed. No need to find out about my right hip pain or bone deuteriation because I didn't have the old age problem of osteoporosis. So yes, I'm fighting to get it investigated and resolved - hopefully before I lose my right leg if it is an infection.
