A member asked:

Why am i having bone aches? does the flu do cause bone aches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bone ache: Not sure what you mean by bone ache. Muscle pain and tenderness may accompany influenza infection, but deep seated severe pain which feels as if it is in the bone is more associated with virus infections like dengue or chikungunya. Where have you been and what have you been exposed to? Bitten by mosquitoes, ticks, other critters?
