Rhabdomylosis due to Covid

Posted by carmenwright69 @carmenwright69, Nov 20, 2022

Everyone in house got Covid but I started with severe compartmental swelling with weakness and fire pain in frontal muscles. I could stand up from sitting nothing helped pain except ice packs. High CK level 9800 when finally got in to see a doc. Found another lady that had it also

Anyone can get rhabdo, but some workers are at a higher risk than others. People who work in hot environments and/or perform strenuous physical tasks have a higher chance of getting rhabdo. Does this describe your lifestyle prior to diagnosis?

Have you all had any muscle wasting acompanying the rhabdomyolysis? I have had both symptoms, really severe. Progressive muscle wasting, searing thigh pain, and rhabdomyolysis.
