Is it normal to get back pain with a cold?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sort of: Muscle aches, including back ache are an expected part of the symptoms with cold. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Generally speaking, cold or flu can cause body or joint aches, since the general inflammation in the body required to fight off the cold, can also increase inflammation in joints and other areas, including the spine, which can lead to back pain. Treating the symptoms of the cold will likely assist with treating the back pain. If not contraindicated, NSAIDs with food are commonly recommended.
