Hi, I had my positive pcr two weeks ago and then two negative lateral flows Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. Luckily, I wasn't too ill, first couple of days I had achy legs and a temperature but then just a blocked nose. Since last Thursday though when I went back to work, I've been experiencing a low back pain. I've also had upper abdominal discomfort. I was just wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms having Covid?

    I have had issues with my lower back, however, i had severe covid (hospitalized 12/29/20 - 1-28-21), likely a different strain and i already had issues with my lower back. They are worse now. I also can't say with any certainty if this stems from the virus, or if it is because I was bedridden for about 3 1/2 weeks.

    Hi, Rose. Yes, I had similar ache in the chest area. The doctor said that I have intercostal neuralgia (post-covid syndrome). And he prescribed pills. After a month I started to feel better.
