Members confirmed that infections commonly intensify chronic nerve pain, with many describing how their bodies go into overdrive when fighting illness, causing existing pain to spike dramatically and requiring extended recovery time even after the infection clears. Several members shared that their physical therapists or doctors had warned them to expect heightened pain during and even before illness, with one member noting that COVID significantly worsened their pelvic pain. A recurring theme was the body's warning system at work, where a weakened immune system struggles to manage both infection and baseline symptoms, leaving members more irritable, sensitive, and inflamed until equilibrium slowly returns.

I've never noticed my pain getting any worse when I have infections cos the pain is always there when I don't have any infections. When I have an infection the only extra pain I have is in the site where the infection is!

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member yes I have found recently that my immune system has not been good and I get a bad reaction to lots of things that didn’t bother me previously. Also that I am allergic to some chemicals and the sticking plaster substances of dressing for injuries. It’s very difficult to get better as well as previously. We just have to keep going back and forwards from the doctor surgery and I am fortunately close enough to walk to my doctor. I hope you can get some help here. Hugsxx from Judyxx

WILLEMIEN as I said it's for joint pain but once ur joints feel better ur other pain might improve as a side effect of better joints!
