May wife got severe joint pain like arthritis across both arms and in other parts of her body after the Pfizer vax. She's getting several tests done and has been doing physical therapy. It was several months ago and it doesn't seem to be getting better. Her PT said she's been seeing lots of these. She never had covid. I hope she gets better, it's been really difficult.

Have her get blood work for various inflammation and fatigue markers like TSH/FT4/FT3, CBCs, Iron, TIBC, Serum Ferritin, VitD, IL-6, (etc) for a sanity check. Some of it can simply be stress/anxiety which - if not managed - accumulates as whatever condition emotionally feels like it is "not resolving" and produces similar symptoms. If everything checks out, stuff like Omega3s, VitD, Glucosamine, Chondroitin and a good 3-4 week vacation to unwind are all greatly associated with reducing chronic inflammation. I think the challenge we're all facing is Dr's are so overwhelmed with all these "inflammatory"-type conditions where some stuff can slip under the radar but they're all inclined to blame it on anxiety/depression. COVID has been a sneaky fucker wrt asymptomatic infections. The best thing you can do is take as many stressors off the plate and give it 6-9 months. Better 6-9 months off than a lifetime of wading thru chronic issues.

8 months ago I developed severe pain, burning and stiffness in hands. Then it went to the legs and finnaly to the whole body. It got to a point where I was bedridden and couldnt eat on my own. All of my energy was put into seeing doctors and doing labs tests wich all turned out negative. I was doing PT and pain killers but they were innefective. Finally, I got a meeting with a rheumatologist that said its fibromyalgia. There are no lab tests to prove fibro diagnosis so Im still not sure about this and I suspect it may be a covid sideffect. Luckily fluoxetin helped me to be back in life, overtime it modify brain to reduce the threshold pain in a soft tissue. Covid damages nerve cells in the soft tissue (thats why people lose smell or even has body pains) so the dots are connecting. I hope your wife will get better, I know how hard it is for a whole family. Normally Im a lurker but who knows, maybe this reply will help with your situation.
