Muscle problems

2018-09-03 08:02:03
I had sore throat, coughing, green mucus, tiredness, muscle fatigue etc. 2 weeks ago. After around a week or so, most of the symptoms went away but I got muscle aches. Then, these few days my leg muscles feel very stiff and uncomfortable. The muscles around my body also twitch(especially the legs). I also experience body aches. Can this be caused by the cold I had 2 weeks ago or is it another illness?
