Summary
The user was diagnosed with long COVID in 2021, they think, which doctors said may have caused mild fibromyalgia. They described pain that felt like a heart attack, sometimes nerve pain, and mostly a knot in the upper back or shoulder blade. Their boyfriend breaking up the knots typically gave instant relief, and they suggested a tennis ball against the wall could do the same.

Their path
They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
