Ok so bare with me...
Back in October I woke up with a weepy eye, so popped along to the chemist and they gave me some optrex drops. They didn't seem to do anything and two days later my entire face was swollen and I was in a lot of pain, so off the the GP I went (I had no other symptoms)
Gp said I'd had an allergic reaction and prescribed something else (can't remember the name) BUT by the time I'd got home I'd started to feel bad with flu like symptoms. By the next morning I was really really feeling awful and my throat was swollen so off to the walk in centre I went , but I was told it was only flu and to rest.
By that night I was in agony with stabbing pains in my thighs, I can't begin to describe the pain but It was so bad I was crying and shouting out. At 3.30am I couldn't take it anymore so called 111 who sent an ambulance out (I was mortified) but they suspected I had sepsis.
Once I'd been admitted doctors were a bit confused but said I had strep throat, and sepsis and that the strep had caused the eye infection. I was kept in for four days on IV antibiotics and then discharged with 10 more days worth (amoxicillin & metronidazole)
If you are still reading well done 
anyway, all fine after 10 days but I was still knackered for weeks after.
So today, I've woke up with the same awful feeling of flu and tonight the stabbing pain has come back I'm so worried things will escalate quickly again (I'm a single mum to a special needs daughter, I cannot be ill 
)
So basically my question is, has anyone else had this? What on earth causes the pain in my thighs? Obviously with flu you get achy all over but this is nothing compared!
If anyone has any answers, I'm all ears 😆
