Achey legs?!

Day 6 for me.. Has anyone experience weird dull aches in their legs?? I'm feeling fine but this is very strange! Similar weird ache in my tummy too when I bend down.

It was my first covid symptom. It lasted a few days. My legs were insanely achey and heavy feeling. Like I couldn't walk! It went by the time my main symptoms started though, it literally was the first sign before all the upper respiratory symptoms started.

This was one of the first symptoms for me. Walking around was awful, like I was walking through treacle

It’s the main symptom for me - really achy and heavy legs on Fri, bit of a sore throat later in the day but tested positive Fri night on LFT and confirmed since on PCR. I’ve developed more head cold like symptoms since but no cough/ fever/altered sense of smell

I had terrible leg pains with covid but an earlier variant in 2020. One of my main symptoms. Normally very stoic about pain but i couldn’t stand the pain and got through a lot of paracetamol over several days.

I've had covid twice. First time in early November and the second late December (so I think Delta first, and Omicron the second time), this was one of my first symptoms both times.

Both DH and I had awful pains in our legs, different pains but both in a lot of discomfort

Oh the bum aches were terrible! I sat on two hot water bottles for relief. It felt like early labour 😂

I've recovered from covid started testing negative last week but my legs feel weak.

Yup. Same here.

My hips and thighs have started really aching in the morning (it actually wakes me up) - it goes away though once im up and about though. Noticed it the last 3 mornings, am on roughly day 12 of covid. Never suspected it to be a covid symptom though how interesting.
Has anyone also found it difficult to open their eyes once they've been asleep for a bit, like when you wake up briefly at 3am. It almost feels like my face is swollen and its pushing up into my eye (it isnt..). Its really weird.
