Summary
After a COVID-19 infection in April 2022, this user developed long COVID with chest pain that was constant for the first four months and feared it would leave them permanently disabled. By six months the pain was no longer constant but still came and went more than they liked. Ibuprofen up to 2,400 mg a day was the only thing that helped, and they worried about the gastric issues from taking so much.
