‘INCREDIBLY PAINFUL,’ says Ellen DeGeneres.
Ellen DeGeneres Reveals Unexpected COVID-19 Symptom
Ellen DeGeneres recently opened up about her battle with COVID-19, sharing an unusual and severe symptom:
intense back pain. She said,
“What they don’t tell you is that you will have severe back pain.
I had no notion that was a symptom until I spoke with a few other people.”
Beyond Common Symptoms
Her experience highlights that COVID-19 symptoms aren’t limited to fever or cough.
Many patients report muscle aches, neurological problems, and, in Ellen’s case, excruciating back pain.
Why It Happens
Experts explain such pain can stem from inflammation or the body’s immune response.
While not everyone experiences it, this illustrates the virus’s unpredictable nature.
Raising Awareness
Ellen’s honesty has resonated with others, emphasizing the need for more research and awareness about COVID-19’s lesser-known effects.
