Musculoskeletal, Shoulder and Back Pain Might Be an After Effect of Covid-19

Have you had covid, recovered, then suddenly had aches that you can’t explain? Like a sore shoulder or tingling?
You are not alone. Although body aches are a common symptom of covid-19, some patients are reporting severe joint and body pain, particularly in large muscles. Although it’s rare, covid-19 can cause painful inflammation in the joints or lead to Rhabdomyolysis which can cause pain in the shoulders, thighs or lower back. See your doctor is you think this is the case and the articles we’ve read say don’t stop normal activity if you can tolerate it. Moving your body daily is good for you.
