Its good to hear that you have recovered from two infections, one after the other. It is quite natural for you to be weak at this point of time. Your body has to recover and the pain is due to the effect of the previous illness which has caused your muscles to be depleted. Please be patient. Please take proper wholesome protein rich diet. The muscles of our body are made of proteins and proteins are needed for the repair of the body. Chicken, eggs and fish contain protein and need to be taken in bulk. Soon with proper rest and diet you would be fine.
