Vadodara / Ahmedabad: Covid-19 patients recovering even from mild symptoms complain of body pain and pain for several days after they ended the period of house isolation.
While this does not require aggressive care, they play behind their minds recovering from disease.
A patient from the Gotri area in Vadodara, who was sick on January 1 and spent about 10 days in isolation, said that until recently he suffered pain in his back or leg.
“It was very acute for one week even though I did not have a fever.
The pain lasts for about two weeks after I get out of isolation,” said the patient.
The man is not a case of isolation because many others have complaints in the same line.
Vadodara-based infectious diseases, Dr.
Hiten Kareliya even received several tests carried out in patients to identify the reasons.
“The test reveals that there are no inflammation and other reasons for pain,” he said.
Kareliya shows that while such pain is not serious, they can affect working hours or efficiency of people.
Kareliya said that he had observed that the increase in the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) was mild and persistent.
“The rate never runs very high like the previous two waves, but the light altitude remains for a longer period,” he said.
Doctors based in Vadodara Dr.
Niraj Chawda said that body pain was public in virus fever.
“The prolonged period for people who suffer with such pain in waves can now be connected with long covid.
This has been mentioned even by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, US,” he said.
Dr.
Dhirendra Sanandiya, President of the Ahmedabad Family Doctor Association (AFPA), said that they saw fatigue, weakness as a dominant post-recovery complaint from Covid patients.
“Muscle fatigue includes back pain caused by the body fight against the virus, and generally disappears slowly after 5-6 days in most cases,” he said.
“We have not recorded every case of bone / joints because of Covid – if it happens to senior citizens along with Covid, it can be caused by the underlying health problems or cold weather experienced in many parts of Gujarat,” added Sanandiya.
