Hello,Around the beginning of March, I was sick with the flu and noticed pain in my hands that now seems to be carpal tunnel. Additionally, my leg and arm muscles seem to be weak and difficult to lift - lifting my arms above shoulder-level is difficult (especially the left) and lifting my legs to get dressed is also painful. Some days are better than others, but the pain doesn t seem to be lessening, even if I reduce activity.
First I would like to know if the diagnosis you had was really the flu. Did you have a diagnostic PCR done?. Although the flu can cause myalgic and certain degree of weakness they don't last long time. If they do, you should see a neurologist and probably have an electromyography done. And remember that certain medications can cause rhambomyolysis
