Achey legs symptoms

I currently have Covid, and my only symptoms are a headache and very achey legs. Last night I was barely able to walk. Has anyone else heard of this symptom?

Achy legs are the reason my colleague got tested. She'd just started jogging again so had put it down to that, until her friend told her achy legs were the only symptom their DC had with covid.

Yes it seems to be a ‘thing’.

Oh interesting, thanks.

I’d heard achey muscles was a symptom but this is quite noticeable and just my legs. Thank you.

Yep, exactly the same here. I ran on Wednesday morning too, so wondered if it was just that. Nope, positive PCR yesterday.

My son who is 9 came home from school with achey legs and could barely walk home. He also had a headache. He tested positive two days later. The achey legs wore off but came back on day 5 for two more days. He was crawling round the house and complaining of soreness. I was going to call the doctor but they got better and he has had no more problems since recovery. I guess it is muscle aches that target the legs.

My first symptom was achy legs, in retrospect! I thought it was sciatica, strangely enough. And knee pains and hip pain.

Yes first symptom for me was achy legs and arms then came the tiredness. I had none of the symptoms they tell you to look for..lost my sense of smell on day 5 .

Yes, DH was awake for hours for a couple of nights with the same.

Yellowmellow2 · 06/11/2021 08:12

Yes, I had that too.
