Hi Cooper heart. I feel exactly the same. I feel so ill and breathless when I get a chest infection.

When I have a bad chest infection I feel really achey in my bones especially my legs. If I get that achey bone feeling I know I'm coming down with something. My doctor just thinks it's the infection, my legs don't swell or anything. Hope you get sorted.

When I am SOB I do tend to get more pain it could be the lack of O2 not feeding the joints?

It is quite common to get chest pain or shoulder pain. If you have pleurisy it is a stabbing pain on the side you have it.

I find the upper chest infections cause my chest to hurt. Pleurisy when dry is more painful than pleural effusion.

You can also feel pain in your joints and feel very tired, nauseous and very unwell.

I have an infection at the moment for which I have been prescribed trimethiprine.
