hi, pain after the viral fever of any kind is usually due to myalgia, that is breakdown of muscle tissue. but the kind of pain you are describing is far from myalgia. this type of pain is Sciatica for most of the times, due to disc herniation in the lower back. you may require an MRI of lower back ( LS spine) to confirm the diagnosis. and urine myoglobin to rule it out. further treatment would depend on these two reports.
