Any connection between long COVID and tendinitis?
Has anyone else had problems with their tendons after COVID? Background - I've had lots of weird symptoms since I had COVID and the boosters. Here's one I'm wondering about. I have had severe tendinitis for the past year in the peroneal tendons of both feet (those are the tendons on the side of your feet). COVID didn't cause it - this was due to me having extra bones in both feet (os peroneum) and not knowing it and doing excessive walking (miles). However - it's been a full year and I can't get rid of the tendinitis, even after surgery in one foot, lots of PT and now shockwave therapy, which WOW is very painful. I have great doctors from Hopkins. The surgeon suggests I may have developed neuropathy from the ongoing tendonitis. Now this is interesting because one of my weird long-COVID symptoms since 2023 has been nerve issues - intermittent burning, tingling, feeling like I am being electrocuted. I was worked up for fibromyalgia and small fiber polyneuropathy in 2023 and didn't meet the criteria fully for either, but was told my long-COVID is behaving like those two diagnoses. So - has anyone else experienced this?

Celia 16th,
Keep the appointment. Who knows, she may have some new ideas. Nothing to lose, can't hurt to hear what she can offer.
Nobody knows all about this darn Covid. Its's all trial and error now. You should take every chance you get to hear from a doctor.
Good luck and blessings to you!
I appreciate your comments. I actually rescheduled my appointment for about a month away. So, hopefully my symptoms will be gone or more definitive. I also hope to have more labs by then.
It’s odd. Today at the gym, my knee was hurting and not my ankle! So bizarre.
