Neurologist explains pain throughout the body after coronavirus

Neurologist Turgunkhuzhaev called migratory pain or fibromyalgia a consequence of COVID-19

Turgunkhuzhaev said that about ten percent of COVID-19 patients report pain. This symptom is often accompanied by increased fatigue and sleep disturbance. All these signs Turgunkhuzhaev called the characteristics of the disease fibromyalgia and the consequences of the coronavirus.

“This is a disease that causes migratory pain in the lymph nodes, joints, limbs of the hands and feet. Patients also complain of fatigue, sleep disturbance, “fog” in the head, “the neurologist explained.

Russians with pain need to seek medical help. The disease can be caused not only by an inflammatory reaction, but also by dysfunction of the nervous system due to the transferred coronavirus. The disease negatively affects the endocrine, nervous and emotional systems of a person.

“There are centers in the brain that provide an analgesic response. When we hit the bedside table with our little finger, it hurts, but after a while this feeling goes away, because the pain relief system works. After COVID-19, this system may not work, “Turgunkhuzhaev noted.

Patients with migratory pain are treated with drugs, as well as non-drug methods such as exercise therapy (exercise therapy) and psychotherapy for chronic pain.

Earlier, infectious disease specialist Elena Malinnikova warned about the negative consequences of influenza similar to COVID-19. She turned to patients with various chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system.
