Post‐COVID syndrome, a cluster of symptoms that develops or persists even after the recovery from COVID‐19 or viral clearance, can have multi‐system manifestations.

Hansen's disease, a chronic granulomatous disease, classically has cutaneous and neurological manifestations. Musculoskeletal manifestation of the disease is underappreciated. This case report conveys that musculoskeletal manifestation of the disease should not be missed, as sometimes it is the only presenting symptom, to avoid delay in correct diagnosis and treatment.
