🦠➡️🦴 Still dealing with joint pain weeks after being sick? You're not alone.
That lingering ache in your wrists, knees, or shoulders after COVID, flu, or other viral infections has a name: post-viral arthralgia — and it affects MILLIONS of people worldwide.
Here's what most doctors won't tell you: 👇
✅ Up to 60% of adults with certain viruses develop joint symptoms
✅ Your immune system's "friendly fire" is attacking your own joints
✅ This can persist for MONTHS even after you've "recovered"
✅ There are proven natural solutions that actually work
The shocking truth? Your joints hurt because your immune system launched such an aggressive attack against the virus that it's now accidentally targeting your joint tissues through a process called "molecular mimicry."
