Is anyone feeling any sharp stabbing nerve pain related to COVID?

Posted by jrandolph7b @jrandolph7b, May 23, 2022

Is anyone feeling any sharp stabbing nerve pain? Dr. said it was nerve damage due to Covid but then another Doctor who is a specialist in many fields says that it’s internal shingles. Has anyone experienced this pain before?

Thank you!

I lost my sense of smell around one year ago. Still not back. I have experienced Trigeminal Neuralgia on the left side of my face and parotitis in my right parotid gland. The latter caused severe shooting pains that put me in the ER. Determined to be viral, not bacterial. Long Covid???

Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience which is related to potential tissue damage. Clinical manifestations of COVID-19 pain vary from headache, abdominal pain, arthralgia, to myalgia. Muscle pain or myalgia is one of the most frequent symptoms among COVID-19 patients, while neuropathic pain is rarely reported by COVID-19 patients. Patients with pain, particularly neuropathic pain normally do not respond well to various therapies.

Moreover, they often experience psychiatric disturbances at the same time, such as depression, which leads to reduced quality of life of the patients. The purpose of this study is to discuss about pain which is commonly present in COVID-19 patients and its management.

Although depression can cause a variety of symptoms, I think it is wise to be open to other possibilities. I do not see a study being the topic of this thread, and I think it is perfectly reasonable to allow people to compare symptoms. Further, it is well known that Covid is associated with a multitude of neurologic symptoms. Links are not allowed, but the NIH has comprehensive information on "Coronavirus and the Nervous System," including peripheral neuropathy.

Advised tissue and nerves have been damaged per ER and critical care pulmonary doctors who shared standard blood and imaging tests do not show. Inquire for further diagnostic soecialist tests thru your healthcare system as I was advised personal cardiology eval best for my post covid situation. Hope helpful🙂
