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.

I have thankfully escaped Covid, though I am familiar with long-Covid because my daughter has been suffering many symptoms since April 2020, when the term was not yet invented.

However, I am concerned about your on-going hip pain, and the danger of infection. I have a complicated history with my hips, having had 2 TKR's and 3 revisions, along with medical issues from bad original implants. My primary advised me years ago that any & all hip issues should only be entrusted to my excellent orthopedist. Infections in "mature" implants can be difficult to detect, so she says they are the best ones to identify one, or rule it out.

Have you considered seeing and orthopedic surgeon who specializes in looking at "older" implants?
