muscle/joint soreness in arms/hands and legs

	Asked by gstaufer (Male; 39; 26336; Elevated blood pressure.; Relevant drugs:None ) on Mon 22, Jun 2009 07:47am
	My wife and I have both been having lots of soreness in our muscles and joints since Thursday of last week (it's now been 4 days) She started showing symptoms earlier than I (Thursday to my Friday) Started out just soreness of the leg muscles. Second day for both of us had us spiking a temp of around 101. Day 3 and 4 has been extreme soreness of the muscles of the arms/hands/legs and muscle weakness. I'm very worried about this as my wife(34 years old)is 15 week pregnant. She went to the Doctor on Saturday and she said that it is most likely a virus - tested her for strep and it came back negative. Said we could both take pain relievers (tylenol for her, advil for me) which we have done, but it's just not getting any better. Any ideas?
