10 Stomach Virus Symptoms

Symptom #10: Muscle Pain
Aches and pains are common symptoms when we are sick. It might not make sense that a stomach virus can cause pain in the muscles elsewhere in the body, but it does when you realize it’s another defense mechanism.
The muscle pain we feel is a result of chemical warfare going on in the body. Basically, white blood cells release chemicals to attack intruders with and these chemicals cause our muscles to become irritated. This irritation causes the aches and pains we often feel when we are sick.
