Hi Gail, I also had nerve pain after covid - shooting pain down my left leg, and also numbness, odd sensations like cobwebs on left side of face. This was early in the pandemic and the neurologist I saw at that time did not know what to make of it. I’ve seen lots of posts describing similar nerve pain symptoms. In my case it stopped on its own after a few months. Neurologists should be more covid-aware these days, should be able to advise and help.

I had nerve pain in my facial nerves as well, moving around and strong pain. It all but disappeared after four months and only flares up when I relapse into an episode of PEM. I'd like to know what it is - has the nerve healed? If that works for the nerve in the face (trigeminus) does that also work for the vagus nerve the inflammation/irritation of which seems to be central to fatigue, CFS, GI-issues, kidney problems, brain etc...

ALL providers SHOULD be more covid literate but sadly they are not. With a few exceptions the patients usually know more than providers. Have gone thru this BEFORE as a CFS/ME survivor of over 46 yrs. HERE WE GO AGAIN.
