I've been sick the last few days most of my cold has gone away but now my upper back is hurting bad and my left side of my chest and shoulders hurt?

URI: If your URI involved coughing, the repeated strain makes the muscles and rib joints in the back, sore. Try some Aleve (naproxen). If no cough-the virus can cause severe muscle and joint pain as part if the symptom complex and takes more time to pass. Again, try Aleve (naproxen). It sounds a little like the virus is not through with you. You may need Tamaflu from your medic.
