Im 48 and just had the flu for 4 days with 102.5 temp. Several days after temp back to normal a rash has appeared on my elbows and knees, with the skin being hot and itchy, and my joints feeling arthritic. The rash looks like a sunburn and is spreading up my arms.  Should I just waite this out?
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to viral arthritis. Some examinations should be done to confirm the diagnosis and take proper treatment. I suggest consulting a rheumatologist and get evaluated. Hope my answer was helpful.
