As Ellen DeGeneres’ chat show ends after 19 seasons, many fans have reflected on the highs and lows of her career. In another case, the 64-year-old said he had “severe” back discomfort after contracting COVID-19 at the height of the pandemic.
DeGeneres decided to step away from the spotlight to focus more on her love of animal conservation after being accused of creating a hostile work environment on her program. She recently completed the construction of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund’s Ellen DeGeneres Campus in Rwanda.
However, the actress recently disclosed on social media that she had been diagnosed with COVID-19. She also shared how shocked she was to discover that back pain is one of the symptoms.
The host declared her compliance after stating that she had taken the “proper precautions” at the time of her virus infection in December 2020.
DeGeneres gave a health update a week later, saying she was “100%” and then sharing details about the condition that physicians “don’t tell you.”
Every night at 11:35 p.m. EST, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” features a house band, human interest stories, comedians, athletes, celebrities, and humorous skits.
On Tuesday, April 20, attendees included Ellen DeGeneres, Billie Joe Armstrong, and musical guests Jimmie Allen & Brad Paisley.
“I feel fantastic,” she whispered. They neglect to warn that you will experience severe back pain.I didn’t think of that as a symptom until I spoke with a few other people.
“Who would have thought?” “How so?” DeGeneres thought. “I’m experiencing back pain.”
In the initial year of Covid’s public release, fewer studies were done on symptoms following a person’s infection than in prior years.
At the start of the outbreak, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) did not formally classify back pain as a symptom of COVID-19. It’s interesting to note that one of them was “muscle or bodily aches.”
Fever or chills, cough, dyspnea, exhaustion, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, runny or congested nose, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea were some early warning signs of COVID-19.
On the other hand, the NHS explains why back pain and other joint and muscle diseases are so common.
According to the NHS website, “many patients will have experienced some aches and pains prior to becoming ill with Covid.” “Illness may have resurfaced or exacerbated these issues.” This is so that regular movement can help our joints and muscles.
“People who have COVID-19 are not as active as they should be.” Aches and pains, muscle weakness, and stiffness are all potential adverse effects.
You may find it difficult to stand, climb stairs, grasp objects, or raise your arms above your head if you have weak muscles. As Covid spread over the world, people frequently complained of shoulder tightness and backaches.
The rise in back pain during this period was also influenced by the expansion of work-from-home options. Socializing and outside activities were limited, even in cases when working from home was not required. This led to a reduction in mobility and an increase in sitting time.
According to a 388-person study done in Malta, 30% of people who had chronic back pain prior to the outbreak reported never experiencing it before, and 49% of people who experienced back pain after COVID-19 said they had never experienced it before.
It’s crucial to understand that experiencing back pain does not always mean you have COVID-19. Numerous conditions can cause back pain, but if it is accompanied by fever, sneezing, coughing, or congestion of the nose, it may indicate additional illnesses, like the flu, which is more prevalent in the UK during the winter months.
Similarly, pneumonia sufferers may experience back pain due to thoracic inflammation and infection. Additionally, back pain may cause the following symptoms:
