I was constantly experiencing sharp pain in multiple parts of my body too ... I find that running has helped reducing the pain if only temporarily.

Summary
The user, posting in r/covidlonghaulers, reported constant sharp pain in multiple parts of the body, and sting-like pain around the torso that lasted about 1.5 years; body jerks largely faded after a year. Bovine collagen peptide powder cut the pain 80-90% within a week, but pain persisted; cetirizine taken for 1.5 years did not help throat clearing. THC/CBD edibles left torso, back and chest pain about 95% gone by July 2022.
