Summary
The user reported cold feet since childhood and about four years of knee swelling after family members had COVID, plus tinnitus beginning around COVID; they were unsure if the swelling or tinnitus was COVID-related. Five days of IV prednisone for an unrelated problem improved the swelling, though they expected it to return. By their latest post they were trying physical therapy and muscle relaxants for tinnitus.
