What Is Steven Johnson Syndrome?
6. Pain in Joints
When we get the flu, one of the symptoms that we can expect to get is aching joints and muscles. Depending on the severity of the symptom, it is arguably the worst of them all and it can be very uncomfortable in some cases. The pain is caused by the effect of chemicals that have been released by our white blood cells as they fight against the intruder.
As Steven Johnson syndrome develops, the patient will find that their joints become painful. At this stage of the illness, the patient is likely to be thinking that they probably have the flu.
