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

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.”
