I think, though, that COVID is not done with me yet. I'm noticing joint pain and a trigger finger in my right hand. I've had trigger finger before, caused by diabetes. But only when I'm not behaving and my A1C goes above 7.0. It's in the low 6.something at the moment, and it's a different finger (the diabetes-induced trigger finger has always been in my thumb - this is in my middle finger). There are some reports of reactive arthritis being caused by COVID - and it's a known complication of some GI issues. We'll see.
I'm hoping it's just pain from using a sander to refinish the floors in my daughter's house (it started after I spent a weekend pushing a sander around) - but the pain hasn't gone away even when I've gone a couple of weeks without sanding.
