I seem to be developing pain from my pulmonary embolism that I developed as a result of covid. I'm not in pain when breathing which I think is good, but I'm in pain when I move like walking or moving my arms or getting in and out of the car. I'm going to call the hospital on Monday and see if I can talk with a doctor about it and see if it's something to be concerned about.

The gabapentin is helping my anxiety a lot

I don’t know if you had any / much pain with your pulmonary embolism initially? But I’ve got a medical condition that’s meant I’ve had a fair few of them at different times over the years and the first time I had an “episode” of them (I had a couple in my right lung at the one time) it was the most intense pain I’ve ever experienced…. I could barely move to do anything…. Couldn’t sit up or turn over etc and was on 2 different types of opioids and was still in severe pain. Just saying all that because pain is definitely possible with p.e and also maybe the p.e hasn’t gone away completely or something has come back in its place? My pain stayed for weeks after that first episode though - but if it’s new onset pain after the PE has gone I’d definitely be getting it looked at ASAP.
Thanks for this!
