So I’m in my deathbed right now, fever and chills and pain everywhere but especially on my legs. Why? Whatever I caught seems to be attacking my throat. Is the leg pain directly caused by the virus, or is it a defense mechanism of my body? Thanks
The bones in your upper legs are one of those (together with your hips) that have a persisting high bone marrow density, which produces a high amount of white blood cells during infection. This means that the bone marrow is populated by a much higher number of cells, which creates “pressure”.
Interesting! Now I’m curious if double amputees are at a greater risk of infection.
Let us know what you find out.
It could be related to more blood flow to the brain and less to extremities.
… I am not a doctor. Recommend asking a doctor.
