Summary
Breeze 34692, a man in his late 30s, developed long COVID after a second COVID infection in August, with severe one-sided flank, groin and leg pain, chills, nausea and nerve pain from November. He spent two months mostly in bed. Chiropractic care, core exercises, stretching, Flonase and vitamins came with slow, weekly gains; by April 2022 he felt mostly himself, though neck lymph swelling and fatigue lingered.

Their words about each treatment
- chiropractor · Helped
I’ve been seeing a chiropractor for two months and it’s finally getting better.
In context ↗ - core strengthening exercises (Stuart McGill big three) · Helped
working on core strengthening exercises and stretches including deep squats, it’s starting to finally go away
In context ↗ - Flonase · Helped
Went to an ENT and got Flonase which helps the ears somewhat. I don’t use it every day.
In context ↗ - self lymph drainage massage · Helped
I’ve also been trying self lymph drainage massage. If you do this for a few minutes it seems to clear up things.
In context ↗ - vitamins including Osteo Biflex · Not said
Taking a lot of vitamins including Osteo Biflex.
In context ↗ - Hot baths · Helped
Hot baths. Advil when it was at its worst.
