Back & Leg Pain During (and With) COVID – How to Feel Better and Manage Pain
Back & Leg Pain During (and With) COVID – How to Feel Better and Manage Pain
Back and leg pain. All of us suffer from leg pain or back aches at least once in our adult lives, and many suffer every day. After contracting COVID-19, back and leg pain may worsen.
In addition to COVID mainly being a respiratory infection, Dr. Charu Dutt Arora in the UK Mirror points out that muscle pain and headaches are also unwelcome side effects. Inflammation in the body can be a result of COVID-19.
COVID-19 pain symptoms also align with chronic fatigue syndrome. Even after someone has recovered from having COVID, they can have symptoms that affect the brain, heart, and lungs, says CBS58, like brain fog and severe fatigue.
Sedentary work from home lifestyles plus suffering through COVID creates muscle aches and pains. Thankfully, there is evidence-based COVID pain relief with ReclaimAbility.
