What is known is that the disease can affect several organs of the body at once making day-to-day functioning difficult. Some recent reports suggest that people who are suffering from the long COVID are complaining of shoulder, neck, back, and knee-related ailments.
One of the most common symptoms of Covid is joint pain. Most patients recover from it within days, however, for some, the same symptoms can persist for much longer.
