You're an inspiration! I just turned 81 so it's easy for the docs to blame the aches & pains on age but I'm not giving up either! The only thing that remains constant & pre-dates covid is the hip bursitis, otherwise I concur that the other joint pain is more like tendonitis. I know from a pre-covid MRI that I do have spinal stenosis & some disc issues but everything that's come on post-covid I don't even discuss with my Primary as her eyes glaze over & she can't wait to refer me out. Seeing the cardiologist was definitely worth it & he says that I have a good handle on long covid, but now I also have an adrenal gland tumor and he has persuaded me that it's worth the PET scan. If it turns out to be non-functional, then I could benefit from treatment (stay tuned).

Hey partner…Yep our parts get older but the power of our mind is immeasurable! Sad but true that doctors judge us by our age and too often form an opinion. That’s why we take it day by day and do what we have to to improve our situation. Much of the research has already proven Covid symptoms have been instigated by the virus! The tendinitis is a prime one. And believe it or not osteoporosis is another. Just 2 examples. I would take the PET. We have to take any test they offer just to eliminate concerns and get it off off list. All the best! And keep us posted…
