7. Muscle Aches

When norovirus hits, it can leave you feeling sore all over. Muscle aches might show up in your arms, legs, or back, and sometimes around your abdomen—especially if vomiting has been intense.

These aches are part of your body’s response to the virus and the physical strain of being sick. They usually ease up once symptoms start to fade. Until then, warm baths, light stretching, or even just getting cozy under a blanket can help bring some relief.
