Flu

[mkjuk]

I usually go to the gym 3 times a week to weight train and do lots of stretching but have not been since thursday as I had really bad flu on friday but feel much better now, the only thing is i had really bad muscle pain in my back yesterday and it got worse today, is this a symptom of the flu or of not training? how long can i expect it to last?

"really bad flu"...? for 2-3 days? it just came and went?

you did not have flu at all if you are fine now.

you most likely had a cold.

though the back pain could indicate a kidney problem and coupled with your feelings of "flu" - i would suggest seeing the doc to rule out a kidney infection

When people say they've had flu, they've usually had a slight head-cold. Very rarely do people go down with influenza in the UK.
