Muscle Aches In Arms With Flu

[Grommy]

Hello. I have had a heavy cold/Flu for 5 days ( runny nose, sneeze, fever etc ) but it was preceded by 3 days of weakness in both my arms, both forearm and upper arm which among other things make this tricky to type ( these were the only 'flu' symptoms for first 72 hours ) and this discomfort is still with me ( nearly 9 days now with this 'pain' ) The fever is wearing off but my arms and shoulders can still be tired and uncomfortable. Is this normal ? ( Thanks )

yes dear its not a major problem.just take a medicine from your doctor and take a rest.

It is nothing to worry about just  ride it through and when your cold/flu goes away it will. its just the process of your body fighting out the unwanted bacteria.

Thank you for your reply. I will keep you informed :)

It is unusual even though you get muscle fatigue with the flu. I would check in with your doctor if it doesn't go away soon after the fever is gone.
