Hello, I have studied your case with diligence. You need to confirm diagnosis by proper investigation. Loss of elasticity of muscles, due to deficiency of IT B12 and carnitine these symptoms can be aggravated .so supplements of these nutrients can relieve pain. Another associated factor can be due to osteoporosis of bones there can be diffuse pain all over body. Check your bone strength with DEXA SCAN and you can start medication according to level of osteoporosis, I will advise you to do regular physiotherapy and exercises as my patients find much relief by these therapies. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
