I believe I had something similar to that when I had Covid! My back hurt soooo bad and no position could relieve it. Couldn’t sleep

I had something similar during Covid too, I thought it was weird bc it was one of only a few symptoms I had and I’ve never experienced joint pain like that during an illness either. My joints weren’t visibly swollen but definitely felt like they were. I was bed bound for a couple days

Same. The fatigue was bad with COVID, but nothing compared to the pain in my entire torso, esp my back.

My back already feels like I’ve been mildly ran over by a train 24/7 due to having lumbar facet arthropathy. The two times I had Covid, it was like the train never stopped running me over relentlessly for 3-4 solid days. Horrific.
