after I had covid in late November (pre-vax) I had nerve issues down my left shoulder (seemed like it came from a crick in my neck--i thought it may've been from a pinched neck nerve from work where I carry a lot of heavy shit). But looking back I'm maybe 75% sure it was from covid. My arm felt sort of dead, some sharp shooting pains periodically and numb fingers. I never lost strength but the symptoms lingered from December through January. It went away but the odd thing was after both my vax shots (Moderna in mid-may and early June) after the initial arm soreness in the injected arm, I had stiffness in the same left neck area I did after covid--no radiating nerve issues though.

Reading up on numb nerves etc I found the best thing to do to heal was to keep good healthy blood flowing to the affected nerves (I did stuff like light overhead dumbbell presses and curls to pump blood in). Also took a b-complex vitamin a few times a week as apparently b-vitamins are crucial for healing damaged nerves. I took harrow's b-right (not very expensive): https://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-B-right-Supports-Cardiovascular/dp/B0016003Z0

Hope that helps. Glad you beat it. Good luck
