In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
Since then, however (let's call it four weeks), I'd had some interesting symptoms on the left side of my torso and neck.
In context ↗ - At worst: Mild
These are not debilitating but are impeding my flexibility and are just plain annoying.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
I think I have improved a little bit, I tried doing push-ups yesterday and was able to do quite a few without difficulty
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID
Last month I had my third bout with COVID.

Summary
After a third COVID infection in late 2023, Beech 66331 developed left-sided shoulder, triceps, chest and neck soreness, hand tingling and difficulty with push-ups; the symptoms were annoying but not debilitating. By March 2024 they had improved a little: torso pain and tingling were mostly gone, while upper back and neck pain and stiffness remained. They were attending physical therapy twice weekly and working on flexibility.
