Post Covid pains and numbness

8 replies

Hi, I have seen other posts about post Covid fatigue, but does anyone else have pains and numbness? My legs and arms ached for a while and I have numbness in my feet and toes. The numbness (a bit like a local anaesthetic is taking effect or I've been out walking through snow) in my toes has now led to throbbing and a dull ache. I also feel a bit weak and I'm exhausted from waking up uncomfortable. I do shift work so I am really struggling.
I've had a blood test which confirmed I have post viral syndrome, and I'm due to have another test next week.

Hi i am extremely tired and my legs are still so achey. They almost feel bruised sometimes. I didn't know blood tests could show up post viral syndrome. I get tired so easily and feel like im constantly sitting down which probably makes me feel worse.

@TSJ19 My blood test showed a raised white blood cell count which my GP said showed my body was still dealing with the Covid infection....or words to that effect!

Oh ok. Im finding the tiredness hard to deal with. I caught covid on top of being prescribed beta blockers for sinus tachycardia so kind of all happened at once. I hope you're feeling better soon.

I'm mostly concerned about the numbness since I've never heard of anyone having that before. I hope you also feel better soon.

Funny you should say this. Yesterday was my first day out and my left toes suddenly came over really painful, like they were frozen!

Fine now though.

Thankyou. I wouldn't say i had numbness but my legs really hurt and they still ache now. I can remember they kept me awake for a couple of nights. They almost feel bruised now.

I was out of isolation on Dec 30th so I hope it clears soon

Yes I had the numbness, in my feet and one leg. My legs were weak and wobbly for a couple of months.
