For a long time, Ellen DeGeneres has been a well-known figure in the entertainment world. Fans’ feelings of nostalgia and regret are understandable as her talk show comes to an end after 19 successful seasons. Ellen recently opened up about the “excruciating” back pain she experienced after contracting COVID-19 at the height of the outbreak.
Although Ellen won’t be on our television screens every day, she is still dedicated to her causes and has just finished the Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund in Rwanda, a project she is passionate about.
It came as a surprise when Ellen recently revealed that she had developed Covid-19 and shared her experience with her fans on social media. She also mentioned back pain as a symptom. The vast majority of people would not have anticipated this level of suffering from this virus.
Following her announcement that she had contracted the illness in December 2020, Ellen DeGeneres recently provided an update on her health. She claimed that at the time, she was employing the proper procedures to maintain control over her illness.
The host then shared on social media that she was feeling “100 percent” after catching the virus and added information about it that doctors typically do not share with people who contract it.
Monday through Friday at 11:35 p.m. m. She offers a variety of A-list celebrities, athletes, musicians, and other entertainers starting at EST. Additionally, there are segments of the program devoted to human interest tales and timely skits that are sure to amuse viewers of all ages.
On Tuesday, April 20, a wide range of guests appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, including comedic legend Ellen DeGeneres (“Ellen”), punk rock king Billie Joe Armstrong (“Billie Joe Armstrong: Welcome to My Panic”), and Jimmie Allen and Brad Paisley, two outstanding musicians.
While no one had warned her about it, Ellen noted that she had since spoken with many others who had experienced the same things with the aching sensation in their backs.
When Billie Joe jokingly remarked, “Who would have guessed,” the presenter and guest engaged in some amusing banter about how they, too, were experiencing these crippling but common side effects.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) identified a number of symptoms as potential Covid-19 warning signs at the start of the pandemic. However, back discomfort was not initially identified as a symptom. Many people who contracted Covid early on seem to have experienced aches and pains prior to becoming ill from the virus. This might be the case because exercise is good for our joints and muscles, but when we were ill, these problems might have gotten worse.
Covid-19 is known to swell up various body parts, causing pain in the muscles and joints, according to the NHS website. This is why so many people experience back pain in addition to other illnesses.
Numerous viruses cause the body to become inflammatory, which can result in signs and symptoms like fever, fatigue, headaches, and joint pain.
Additionally, due to restrictions preventing people from exercising regularly while under lockdown, there has been an increase in musculoskeletal conditions like muscular aches, which has been linked to a lowered immune system, potentially leaving us vulnerable to illnesses like Covid-19.
Before the emergence of COVID-19, many people suffered from chronic back pain, but since the virus started to spread globally, even more people have been impacted. According to reports, 30 percent of those surveyed had back pain prior to the epidemic, while 49 percent had never experienced it.
Because of being confined indoors during quarantine, there was likely less movement and physical activity, which may have contributed to the rapid onset of this health issue.
Less time was spent outside and socializing, which led to a rise in sedentary lifestyles and prolonged sitting, which reportedly caused significant distress for many people.
Additionally, the lack of exercise made muscles weaker over time, making simple tasks like standing up from a seated position, climbing stairs, or even lifting one’s arms above their head difficult.
Other reported symptoms, such as pains and stiffness, exacerbated this deterioration, causing even more discomfort and ultimately exacerbating existing illnesses or leading to the development of new ones.
