Is it a English saying ?

"It's as clear as mud-although no more unclear than aspects of the illness itself."

Is "It's as clear as mud" a saying ? And what's the meaning of this sentence?

Thank u

Hi, Welcome to English Forums. "Clear as mud" means something is very confusing and the meaning is not understood. If something is "clear" you can easily understand it.
