Arthritis pain

[carerof123]

Hi was so glad to see another person had written about her joints being worse after having Covid. I thought i had imagined it. I had in bad enough to be in hospital although not in ICU. Since coming home in January i can barely walk as hip and back pain so very bad. Before covid i use to walk to town at least three times a week and get on with my life using painkillers. I was never out of pain but i could cope, now i just cant do it. I have tried but had to resort to waiting for a bus as i knew i just could make the full journey on foot. I have seen a consultatnt regarding hip replacement but am first going through the process of physio, going this Friday, if that fails, it will be injections, final option is the operation .

This sounds dreadful, carerof. Maybe it’s Long Covid, and will improve? I’ve got nothing to offer you except sympathy

Thank you. I also lost my dear husband to Covid, we were both in hospital at the same time. It has been a very hard year and the pain i am in adds to it all as i relied on him in so many ways.

So sorry to hear of your loss and the difficulties you've been having. I really hope the arthritis improves and the physio helps. I hope time is a healer for you in more ways than one. Will keep you in my thoughts.
