Questions about Rheumatology

Post covid popping and cracking joints

25 days ago
0 answers

Since having COVID, I’ve been experiencing systemic joint cracking and popping throughout my body. It feels like a snapping or crackling sensation, and I never had this issue before COVID.
I’m currently taking 250 mg of magnesium daily and have been doing so for the past three days. I also saw a neurologist who said the muscle twitching was benign at the time. However, my main concern now is the joint cracking.
During and after COVID, I consulted three rheumatologists. The only finding was a low-titer ANA. I also had an EMG done, which came back normal. Since there were no significant abnormalities in my bloodwork, I was essentially discharged without further direction.
I’ve also been trying to follow an anti-inflammatory Mediterranean-style diet, but so far it doesn’t seem to be making any noticeable difference in my symptoms.
I wanted to ask if you’ve heard of symptoms like this before. From my own research, I’ve seen reports in long COVID literature and medical journals describing joint crepitus and muscle spasms appearing after COVID infection. I was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction regarding what to explore next.

My mother has a rheumatoid arthritis already 20 years. She is now 74 years old. Her main treatment has been through Sulfasalazine tablets (2mg daily). Last year on April she was hospitalized with anemia (28 hemoglobin (HGB) and pancitopenia, Diagnosis: Folate and B12 deficiency). After a 5 months treatment with B12, folate, her hemoglobin increased until 89 and started again to decrease. We started to drink Metipred (8ml daily) about 7 months and her HGB increased to normal 128. Doctor prescribed again Sulfasalazine (500ml daily) simultaneously with Metipred, she is drinking Sulf. already 2 months and her blood cells started to drop again. Her current test results are the following: HGB- 112 WBC -2.43 NEUT#-0.42 ESR-55 CRP quant.-33.3 RF-122 ALT-92 AST-62.8 FOL-16.6 Vit. B12-1819 (we are making injections her every 2 week of 1ml, that is why it is so high) ANA pattern AC2 Please, let me know, whether the decrease of blood cells to such amount can be due to the Sulfasalazine and should we continue to drink it in such a situation? And if not, what medicine should we replace it with so that it is less dangerous for the blood? Thank you in advance for your kind reply. Anna Vardanyan

Hello Nitin, For your knowledge I wanna state that there is no proper study that cholecystectomy can raise your uric acid. Do you any of these symptoms: Sudden joint pain/swelling (especially in feet or toes) Red, hot, stiff joints (classic gout attack) Kidney stone symptoms: back pain, blood in urine, frequent urination

My mother is having Arthritis issue but don't know which medicine to go for she's feeling severe pain in joints We have never started any medicines for her Kindly suggest some medicines or oils to help her to get rid of problem


Get blood investigations done like RA factor, ESR, CBC CRP and uric acid. If RA factor is positive should start DMARDS. For now take NSAIDS like piroxicam 1-0-1*(a/f) 5 days along with pan40/ omez 1-0- 0(b/f). If she isn't diabetic a short course steroids will help. But before taking steroids consult once
