Could these pains be a continuatiin of the flu? Its debilitating.
Brief Answer:
Very unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM,
In general joint pain from the flu is not debilitating. It is more muscular, but sometimes when it is in the joints feels more like a sore there.
You are describing it as severe, and this is not a good thing.
Also the fact that you have it in more then 1 joint, is also something that raises a red flag,
So, I would suggest to you consider a visit to the rheumatologist, or even the family doctor would be enough. He can do a general physical exam, and evaluate the whole situation.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need further clarification.
Take care,
Dr. Papaqako
