Returning after a long break

Hi,

I wondered if I could ask whether anyone has ever found that their embouchure muscles hurt *a lot* coming back after a very long break from playing?

I've had long covid twice now and have lost 20lbs of muscle mass. I can't work out if it is that that is making my embouchure muscles hurt, or if it is just the very long break from playing that did it.

I went from 146lbs to 126lbs total weight, so it's quite a big change. I used to be curvy and now I am definitely wiry. I'm also short of thyroid hormone and vitamin B12, but I'm working on sorting that out. I don't think that would make my muscles hurt.

Thanks!

Jennifer
