Joint Pain After Covid 19

 Covid 19, also known as novel coronavirus, has widely spread in every country around the world.

It has broadly created an apocalyptic and panic vibe amongst the people since the beginning of the pandemic.

There has been a vital improvement in the number of new cases being registered, but that does not mean that the virus is totally gone.

One of the best things to do is to be at home and not step out unless there is an unavoidable task that needs to be completed.

While going out, make sure you follow the WHO guidelines – wear your mask, carry your sanitizer and avoid walking or traveling in public places.

Fortunately, the new year has started with a hope of vaccinations, approved by the authorized FDA, which began with its rollout in the united states and few other countries.

 

Can Covid – 19 Results into Joint Pain

It has been observed that coronavirus can be one of the factors causing acute arthritis and arthralgia.

Specifically, monoarticular arthritis might be suspected in most individuals and can be triggered by pathogens mentioned below:

• Hepatitis B
• Hepatitis C
• Parvovirus

Diagnosis of arthritis due to viral infection is not easy to confirm; however, it can be considered for patients with inflammatory polyarthritis.

Overall,1 % of the aggregate cases of acute arthritis are originated from viral infection.

Although the year 2020 has been the most difficult year of all our lives, we have been staying away from our family friends, and most of them have faced the loss of loved ones and unemployment.

Despite so many drawbacks, we realized the importance of being healthy and keeping our surroundings hygienic.

Only eating three times a day does not qualify an individual to be healthy.

It is important to pay attention to what you put in your body and which food can help build your immune system strong.

Those people who had a strong immune system and were not diagnosed with conditions such as diabetes, blood pressure, and stress, for them their body did their job by fighting with coronavirus.

Is It Difficult for Patients with Acute Arthritis to Fight with Covid – 19

People with arthritis have a problem walking around due to chronic pain in joint muscles.

This disability can lead to diabetes, excess weight gains, and hypertension, ultimately weakening the limbs and bones, resulting in osteoporosis disorder.

The whole situation is more complicated, as people have osteoporosis, thereby weakening the muscles.

The fragile bone plays an important role in the movement; if the fragility increases, then the bone will have risen in instability.

Rash and Joint pain and weak bones should not be taken for granted; as it directly impacts your emotions and makes you dependent.

Immediate medications should be taken, and if it requires operative surgery, that should also be initiated for faster recovery.

The reason being weak muscle can lead to poor immunity, and it will increase the chances of being infected by covid -19.

You should not delay treating your knee and joint pain; even though we have an ongoing pandemic, that does not mean that you will increase the risk of your other body parts.

Don’t fear; take appropriate precautions, follow all the WHO guidelines, and treat your illness.

Symptoms of Arthritis Which Should Not Be Ignored amid covid -19

Fingers, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles – all of your body parts have bones that are interconnected with each other.

Just like one wrong thing can make your road bumpy, the same way this intersection, if gone wrong, can result in arthritis or any other disease.

To know what is going wrong, keep reading your body signals

• Joint Pain at Night

Any pain triggering during daytime is understood, as your day involves various physical activities.

But if you find yourself waking up in the middle of the night due to pain, then there is some major clue indicating some serious problem.

• Inflammation

Inflammation can be identified by the changes reflecting on your body surface.

It includes redness, swelling, or a certain part of your body remaining warmer than other body parts.

All these signs indicate the existence of arthritis or infection in the human body.

The Feeling of Morning Stiffness

Older people are the ones who find their body stiff, majorly the knee part, when they wake up in the morning.

I know you will think that such stiffness is understood, but it can be tolerated if it lasts less than half an hour.

Otherwise, if it stays in your body for more than an hour, assuming your stiffness will stay until your lunch or much later, then it is a matter of worry.

 

Change in Your Lifestyle Due to Pain

Are you avoiding staircase and taking elevators? You enjoy going trekking, but you stopped?

All these changes are OK for a week, but if it is occurring more than that, which means things are not in the right direction.

ReA case post covid -19 

There was a case of a 73-year-old man who was diagnosed with covid – 19 and was admitted with major symptoms of pneumonia.

It took eight days for him to get complete coronavirus treatment, but after that, he observed swelling, pain, redness in his joints.

That made it prompt that yes in some cases, arthritis can be triggered due to covid -19 and it needs to be addressed.

For which, the patient was treated using an NSAID dose.

Take away

The process of discovering the consequences and preventive measures is still ongoing for the novel SARS-CoV-2.

I have also inculcated the case of a patient detected with ReA after undergoing virus infection, best to my knowledge.

ReA is also one of the possible complicated conditions, which should be taken into account of arthritis.

It needs to have proper investigations to avoid dependency and instability in body movements.
