Can a virus mutate joints?

I would not have thought of such a thing. This is a commentary quote. Sounds pretty smooth. I even googled it. But no. Of course, such a phrase does not exist. Maybe a "reaction"?

A mutation is some kind of change in genes that suddenly happened, and which is inherited by descendants. That is, it takes time.

In general, after covid, people complain about a lot. Italians say that after two months of the onset of the disease, about 27% of those who recovered were still complaining of joint pain. Nobody particularly bothered about it. Then everything gradually goes away.

Only people with chronic inflammatory joint diseases have had problems with covid. If they took any immunosuppressive drugs, they became infected more often. Such patients had to keep a stricter distance and generally go out to people less often.

If someone is sick at home, they recommend the usual regimen for their arthritis. But if a person with arthritis himself fell ill, then everything is more complicated.

Some rheumatologists advise to abandon immunity suppressants during illness. I need to call a rheumatologist and discuss this matter. I'm talking about methotrexate and all sorts of things like that. That is, those who have rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and all that.

It is clear that if the rheumatologist changes something, the joints may become more ill. It is not necessary, but it can.

In short, mutations threaten no one. This is not the case. But the joints from covid can hurt.

It seems that every fourth person who recovers may have joint pain for a couple of months.

If your joints are no longer all right, then stay away from covid patients.

If you do get infected and get drugs like methotrexate, then quickly contact your rheumatologist and ask.
