‘Incredibly painful,’ says Ellen DeGeneres. ‘I had no idea that was a symptom.’

With Ellen DeGeneres’ chat show ending after 19 seasons, many fans have reflected on her career’s highs and lows. In a more recent case, the 64-year-old claimed “excruciating” back pain after contracting COVID-19 at the height of the pandemic.

DeGeneres decided to step away from the spotlight amid charges that her show was a toxic workplace, instead seeking to spend more time fulfilling her passion for animal conservation, having recently completed The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund in Rwanda.

However, the actress was recently diagnosed with Covid and gave an update on social media, where she also expressed her surprise at having back pain as a symptom.

The host declared that she was following “proper precautions” at the time she caught the virus in December 2020 after verifying that she did.

A week later, DeGeneres released a health update in which she declared that she was “100%” before going on to explain something about the condition that medical professionals “don’t tell you.”

Every weeknight at 11:35 p.m. EST, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” features a wide range of celebrities, athletes, musical performers, comedians, human interest concerns, humorous bits, and a house band.

On Tuesday, April 20, guests were Ellen DeGeneres, Billie Joe Armstrong and musical guests Jimmie Allen & Brad Paisley.

“I feel fantastic,” she said. “What they don’t tell you is that you will have severe back pain. I had no notion that was a symptom until I spoke with a few other people.”

“Who would have thought?” “How so?” DeGeneres wondered. “I’m having back pain.”

Having contracted Covid in the year it first surfaced, there was less research into symptoms than in recent years.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) did not formally include back pain as a Covid symptom at the start of the pandemic. Interestingly, one of them was “muscle or bodily aches.”

Other early warning signs of Covid included fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath, tiredness, headache, the new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea.
