Dr. Timothy Silver answered

Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Need an exam: The complaints are very vague, a visit to your doctor may allow for more interview and examination. This is the best approach to symptoms described. The differential diagnosis is too braod for achy legs. It could be mechanical , postural, nerve issues, back issues, vascular, neuromuscular, or normal reponse to extreme activities.

I may have COVID-19, but I noticed today that my thigh muscles are super sore like I did a serious leg workout, even hurts to touch them. Is this normal? Seems strange. Ive done relatively so little activity for the past 4 days or so.
