Covid,pneumonia,medrol 16mg,chest pain

Question

Asked for Female, 37 Years

I was detected covid+ with pneumonia 6 months and was prescribed medrol 16mg for 11 days. After a month of treatment, I started getting chest pain on left side and is still occurring till today. Is this a sign of mucormycosis? I consulted multiple doctors during this 6 months but was either adviced for gastric issue or muscular pain and medicated accordingly but no improvement. CT score was 9/25. Echo, ECG and X-Ray appeared normal. I am currently taking septilin which gives some relief but as soon as i stop pain starts. I am really worried now with more cases of mucormycosis. Can mucormycosis happens after 6 months of covid and steroid stoppage?
