Ellen DeGeneres Reveals Surprising COVID-19 Symptom: Severe Back Pain
Ellen DeGeneres has spoken candidly about her experience with COVID-19, sharing a symptom that left her both surprised and debilitated: intense back pain. The comedian and talk show host contracted the virus in December 2020 despite taking precautions, and what shocked her most was how severe the pain became.
“What they don’t tell you is that you will have severe back pain,” Ellen admitted. “I had no notion that was a symptom until I spoke with a few other people.”
Her comments have resonated widely, shedding light on how unpredictable COVID-19 can be and how its effects often extend beyond the “classic” symptoms of fever, cough, and loss of taste or smell.
