After having the flu, I can’t sleep?
I had the flu and had a fever for 5 days. I got rid of the fever and have been feeling better but in both the nights after I have gotten 0-2 hours of sleep each of those nights. I have developed extreme soreness/aching in my legs and they bother me so much when I am trying to sleep that I struggle to get a single minute of sleep, any suggestions

you have probably been sleeping a lot while being the sickest and not moving around much so now you are slept out. I suggest you take a walk around your house for about 10 minutes(inside the house, walk from room to room, down stairs or up stairs. Make several laps like that to get blood flowing and muscles working) and don't worry so much about sleep. if you are tired, you will sleep.
The walking around will help with the pain in your legs which is probably from inactivity.
If none of these things work, call your doctor.
You may be a bit dehydrated still.
Maybe get some Gatorade or similar for the electrolytes.
