Summary

Sparrow 90698 has had dull pain in the left back muscles, intercostal muscles and chest for five weeks, which they think may be due to COVID-19/long COVID. The pain usually feels better at weekends with rest but builds up on weekdays while standing and walking 10-12 km at work. They stopped all gym lifting and running to try to let it settle.
