covid is it to blame?

I recently caught covid which for a week made me feel tired full of cold and bored because of being isolated When I got a negative result I was happy it took a week for it to be negative!

I now feel worse because my knees are very painful more than usual as I have osteoarthritis in both knees and I have started to ache in my shoulders too which is new

I was wondering if that has something to do with me having covid

Just wondering if anyone had covid and it made their joint feel worse

I have covid, now, literally typing whilst in bed. Have chest infection with it and feel grog. Feeling bored would be good! Told I would get the antivirus med as I’m on methotrexate but just told not eligible now? Anyone else had the antiviral or had bad covid with RA?
