I have d Covid for 8 days then developed tingling in my fingers and toes. Within one day it moved up my legs and I couldn’t walk, could barely move my legs. Upper body weak but functional. It was diagnosed as the rare. Disorder GBS (Guillane Barre disease) which I understand many others have gotten post Covid . I am now in a rehab hospital post infusions and am hoping for a good outcome . One of the biggest challenges has been level 10 upper back pain. Anyone else have experience with this?

Hi Bonnie, I moved your message about developing Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a rare disorder where the body's immune system damages nerve after Covid infection to this existing discussion.

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with others easily.

Bonnie, how are you doing in rehab? Dealing with level 10 pain in your upper back must be really hard. Are you getting physio to help? Or other approaches?
