Spine surgery recovery and the flu?

Hello everyone,
I have posted some other questions about my laminectomy recovery and had some great responses. So, I thought I would ask this one too.

I have all sorts of ongoing post surgery issues like nerve pain, spasms, sacrum pain, etc. I was getting pretty discouraged, as I am now 5 weeks post surgery. However earlier this week I felt like I turned a corner and was really getting better. Unfortunately as of yesterday I believe I have the flu or some other bug.

Now all of my symptoms have come back and I feel pretty awful.

Has anyone experienced this? If so, did your symptoms get better once you got over the flu or whatever you had?

Any comments are very appreciated!
