Annoying after-disease from flu

So, my shoulder gets very annoyingly hurtful after harder flus. Hurts escpecially when inhaling deedply/hard, in fact whole left-side of ribs are painful. Heart is ok, but only ribs-section of body is painful from left shoulder. I've gotten this after disease many times.

anyone else get similar or annoying after-diseases? This is more annoying than flu, in it's own way: i'm healthy and fine, but that pain limits. Some doctor said that it's quite common, bakteria and stuff infects shoulder/heart area of some persons. Luckily i don't have other symptoms....

The flu to which you refer is caused by a virus, not a bacterium.

After viral infections, aches and stiffness are common. With children, you often see rashes with viral infections. Some can be quite alarming (see: hand-foot-mouth disease). Adults typically show less severe dermatological signs and symptoms.

I always confuse bacteria and viruses (between eachother) for some odd reason.....
