Abstract


A middle aged 50-year man contracted severe Covid 19 pneumonia. Post discharge he complained of multiple joint pains and heel pain on walking. The pain was waking him up at night and regular paracetamol wasn’t effective. Full thorough workup was done to exclude any possible causes and ultrasound was performed.

It was concluded that he had post covid arthralgia and soft tissue swelling. He was prescribed paracetamol and amitryptiline with escalating dose and was referred to rehabilitation and exercise which showed significant improvement and he made a good recovery. The aim of this article is to explore the possible reasons behind these symptoms and the management in primary care setting.

Key words: arthralgia, soft tissue swelling, Covid-19
