Update: Back Pain is a symptom of Omicron

One in five people with the Omicron variant of Covid has low back pain according to the Zoe Tracker App. The same number have other unusual joint aches and pains. Today, Monday 14th March 2022, there are 233,000 new daily cases across the UK. So that means 50,000 people have back pain in the UK as a result of Covid today. That is in addition to the other symptoms which are:

-runny nose
-headache
-sore throat
-fatigue
-sneezing

Back pain is emerging as a symptom of Covid-19. We are starting to see people who have reported unusually severe and persistent back pain after having Covid-19. Just because you have back pain, however, does not mean that you have Covid.
Back pain due to Covid seems to occur later in the disease. It is unlikely to be an early symptom. It can even come on as you seem to be improving from the main symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, loss of smell and fatigue. Of course, if you had back pain before getting Covid, you can get it again and then the virus can make this worse.

This video will tell you if Covid is a cause of your back pain.
