Does Joint Pain After Running Do Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Recur?
Doctor … I was about 4 years ago, got the CMV virus. With herbal medicine, noni, carrots, tomatoes, broccoli and added inbos, thank God the virus is weak or reduced at the limit (test results) and can move again. Now, joint pain sometimes appears, especially in the legs, after frequent running. As a result, running was stopped. Does the pain indicate the act of the CMV virus. Or the effect is still there. If so, how to deal with it … because I need to run to reduce cholesterol and improve heart rate, because I’m a heart sufferer

Hello Primaswolo,
Thank you for the question.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a disease caused by a virus and can vary in symptoms, ranging from fever, muscle and joint pain, coughing, colds, fatigue, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and so on. The CMV virus can be transmitted from patient to other people through direct contact with bodily fluids (including sexual contact), organ transplants, blood transfusions, breast milk, as well as during labor. In people who are healthy and mild symptoms, often do not need special treatment to cure this disease. Because, with good endurance, this virus can be suppressed replication, so that symptoms will improve by itself within 1-4 weeks. However, in people with weak immune systems or who experience severe clinical symptoms, antiviral drugs and other treatments can also be given according to the clinical symptoms that arise.
With regard to your question, the return of pain in the joints, especially the legs, actually not only can be caused by the recurrence of your CMV. It could also be, the pain you feel arises due to viral or other bacterial infections, arthritis, tendinitis, joint dislocation, bursitis, muscle cramps, fibromyalgia, pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, psychological disorders, and so on.
This pain, if it does not appear accompanied by other severe complaints, such as fever, swelling and stiff joints, and so on, should not be feared excessive. In order to reduce pain, try applying the pain relieving cream on your painful feet, rest more, don't carelessly massage the painful area, maintain ideal body weight, multiply the intake of complex B vitamins in your food, and don't over-stress.
Given the recent COVID-19 pandemic, you are advised not to leave the house, including seeing a doctor, unless you have a severe medical complaint. Therefore, if your complaint still does not improve significantly with the above efforts, then you check with your doctor or neurologist so that it is handled well.
I hope this helps.
