Aching legs and Covid -19

[Bocadilla]

Is this a symptom does anyone know. The last few days I have the most intense aching in my legs. Swollen glands too but no other symptoms to speak of. Just wondering if anyone else has had anything like this?

I have this since monday- seriously aching legs, plus arms and terrible fatigue,constant headache, sore throat and itchy inner ears!!! Sent a test off tuesady afternoon, still waiting for result.

Just had result back- negative. There must be another virus doing its rounds🤷🏽 as i still feel awful

Sounds like glandular fever to me.

Thanks for replying. Glad to hear negative test @JADE21111972 and hopefully you feel better soon.

I think it's another virus, I had those achey symptoms and glands plus felt very hot.
I have other long term conditions that cause the pain, but I got a test and was negative.

The glands in the back of my neck were so painful to touch.

how can that justify a test though?

I had a fever (when I said felt very hot). Got test online.

2 people close to me have confirmed covid and awful leg/muscle pain.

@GreatBigBeautifulTommorow - that’s a worry. I definitely don’t feel right at all. Absolutely exhausted and the leg pain is constant. I’m just not sure I’d get a test

@Bocadilla yes it a worry. Our workplace test us for mild symptoms such as cold symptoms/ headache/ muscle pain and positives are being seen

I've recently tested positive.
Looking back I had pains in my legs - more like sharp ones every so often - earlier on.
Since I've had some more generalised aches and pains in my arms and legs.

I tested because i was very unwell last week, and as i work with vulnerable adults with various health conditions there was not a chance I was going to risk infecting them, or my colleagues or anyone else that i might come into contact with.

This is like a deep aching like the feeling you get when fluey. Legs feel like jelly and it feels like an effort to walk. Glands raised pretty much everywhere .

@Bocadilla - thats how i was- feel much better today , still not 100% - mine lasted 5 days. Rest and take paracetamols, cuddly blanket on the sofa, sleep as much as you can. Hope that you feel better soon. X

I can't say if I defiantely had Covid as it was in March when I was ill when no testing was available. But I had TERRIBLE pains in my legs . It use to wake me up at night and I'd curl up in a ball. Parecetemol didn't touch it. Muscle pain is a symptom of Covid.

@Bocadilla how are you feeling today?

Have you considered it might just be flu? Or even an ordinary cold?

There are covid cases in my workplace.
Despite working with the vulnerable we have had to source our own tests.
I have been feeling generally unwell whilst waiting for the test results, no swollen glands but terribly achey and jelly like legs.

Sorry for not responding. Felt much better this morning but this pm feeling awful. Achey legs gone but sore throat and skin feels burnt on face. Yes could be another virus @BilboBercow but it’s not a cold. I need to investigate getting a test I think just to be sure
