We all had fevers and temp. Finally feeling better, both due back to work after self isolating for 14 days Monday.

Today husband felt a pain in his back and now can't move. He's had back pain in the past but my sister thinks it could be coronavirus getting worse.

What the hell are we meant to do? Don't want to be calling 111 and going hospital if it's his regular pain and we end up more exposed? But obviously need someone to do something before we go back to work as I can't risk infecting a whole building?

I was so sure this was a cold and ready to put it behind us now I don't have a flipping clue what I'm meant to do? I have a regular Dr appointment Wednesday. Could give that my DH and stay home til we speak to Dr? Or is it serious enough to call 111? He can still breathe and fever has been on and off but could be pain related?

Anyone with coronavirus know anything about back pain? It's just weird it's so specific? Surely it would be all over pain?

Chest and back pains are part of the symptoms- see burning in chest thread. Is he breathless? Can he get upstairs, dress etc without struggling for breath?

What kind of back pain? I know several people who have put their backs out coughing (over the years, not CV related) and one who fractured rib.
