Q: i have terrible aches in my neck and shoulders. is it likely to be flu or should i be concerned?

Neck &amp; shoulder pain: How long have you had this? Are there other symptoms? If a few days and you have fever, chills, etc. more likely the flu. In any case, please see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. If pinched nerve he/she may recommend physical therapy.
