Ellen DeGeneres Reveals Her Worst COVID-19 Symptom

Several comments to the post seemed to confirm what DeGeneres experienced, with one writing, "Omg! Just got over it and the back pain/aches were SO BAD!!! Feel better!" Another follower shared, "OMG yes Ellen! HORRIBLE back pain!!! I'm so glad you said this. My husband and I both experienced the exact same thing!" And yet another commenter confided, "My worst symptom was back pain! Not many people I know have had that symptom."

The star went on to thank her well wishers in the post, whom she shared about a week ago were really encouraging given her diagnosis. "Thank you for all of your sweet messages," DeGeneres captioned an Instagram selfie of her resting on an impressively-comfortable looking body pillow, in impressively-comfortable looking pants, adding, "They're helping a lot." At that time, celebrities from Reese Witherspoon to Octavia Spencer and Ricky Martin sent love her way in the comments, and said they hoped she felt better soon.
