Had a virus this week (or I presume a virus) main symptoms at first were just pain in my chest and back, lethargy and severe headache. Couldn't take a deep breath without a feeble cough which made me feel sick, but not chest infection, not a hacking cough or anything.
Yesterday I woke up with really really sore left tonsil (I'm prone to tonsil infection -don't know whether you'd call it tonsilitis, never been to doc for it) and ear, throat etc. Today, tonsil/ear still sore and really bad general pain through torso - from bottom of my stomach up to my breastbone and all down my spine.
It's very very weird, I don't even have a sniffly nose! But I was reduced to tears earlier when 2 year old ds jumped on me to play horsey horsey! I've taken ibuprofen and paracetamol so feeling a wee bit more human just now but just wondered if anyone had any ideas??
There is a possibility my torso pain is muscular rather than viral - if I sleep with my arms up beside my head (baby style) it causes me severe pain in the morning, unfortuantely I seem to move into that position in my sleep. This didn't happen before ds so have wondered if it might be something to do with pregnancy/caesarean.
Anyhoo, any thoughts welcomed greatly.
Sorry, it's longer than I intended.
