It is reported that some patients with the Corona virus have increased mysterious pain even after months of recovery.
“What we see is very scary. More than half of the patients, after weeks of negative testing, are still experiencing symptoms,” said Professor Gabriel Izbiki, of Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
Yiran Schenker, director of a medical clinic in Bnei Brak, said that instead of the typical symptoms of Covid-19, many patients report pain in completely unexpected places. It can appear in the arms, legs, or other places where the virus has no direct effect. “
He added, explaining: “If I asked about the level of pain on a scale from 1 to 10, it could be 10, where people say they cannot sleep. He stressed that” some of them were infected with the Corona virus in March, so they may have recovered for months, “noting that Long-term pain is not related to their exposure to the disease during an injury.
“We are scanning and we cannot see anything, but they are suffering from this pain – we are being told about it over and over again,” said Yiran.
The wife of a 55-year-old man who contracted the virus in March said he “feels like he’s broken,” despite his negative test for “Covid-19” last month.
“He is actually worse than he was when he was in hospital,” she added, explaining that he was very tired and could not walk.
As with everything associated with the Coronavirus, complete symptom novelty makes it almost impossible for treatment.
Schenker said: “Pain relievers prevent it but do not reduce its source, we do not know how to deal with the source and you cannot live on painkillers throughout your life.”
