Texas City, TX

I have been recently diagnosed with AS. I am a 63 year old female! I had covid that started Jan 25, 2021. (Classified as severe case with hospitalization and pneumonia) I have had continued severe joint pain since covid. Anyone else with covid infection noticed increase in joint pain that persists 60 days or more?

Yes, I was positive in December and prior to that had gotten shingles. I've noticed a huge difference in joint pain and swelling since then.
