Brief Answer:
I recommend monitoring only at this time. Exercise as tolerated!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up.

I have reviewed this information fully. I am not overly concerned about your symptoms. This may be linked to some muscle fatigue or just overuse. I will recommend home exercise, increased hydration and maybe a pain medication as necessary.

Let me know how this progresses. Would guide further if symptoms get worse or fail to improve. Until then, I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
Unlikely but let us monitor more!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this question.

Have you had any clear exposure to COVID-19? These symptoms are very rare in persons with COVID-19. However, monitoring will allow us to see if there are any new symptoms concerning for this such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, diarrhea, etc.

I hope this guides and helps. Keep me updated.
