Worse since virus

[Cazbaw61]

Since being in isolation for 10 days now, my pain has become worse. I’m finding I’m in more pain and sleeping for hours at night, which makes me feel worse. I’m usually up all night. I’ve been at my sons since this all started and unable to return home due to isolation and now lock down. I’m usually a bit,( just a little bit lol )more active because I have my grandchildren a lot. Does anyone else feel worse?

We do know that stress can make pain and symptoms worse. I think it would be fare to say your current situation might have a baring on it. Try to keep up your activity by doing some gentle exercise in the house if you are able. xx

I'm definitely much better when I keep moving, my pain level rises when I'm not moving as much & as been said stress is not good either!

I am not sure whether you can walk very far but we are allowed to go for an hours walk each day. I haven't been able to go today as waiting in for a supposed call from a nurse that never happened and my pain is worse than it usually is. I think a bit of activity does wonders for our mental health as well. I think bobbybobb is right as stress makes all our muscles tenser so adds more pressure to our already painful muscles.
