Hi, Thanks for your query. Seems you are suffering from multiple joint pain -poly arthralgia. Other causes can be rheumatoid arthritis, gout, inflammatory diseases like SHE, bursitis, fibromyalgia, etc. For proper diagnosis, some blood tests are advisable like- 1. Serum calcium levels.2. Serum Uric acid levels.3. RA factor4. ESR and CRP5. Serum Creatinine6. X-ray of affected joints. You need a thorough clinical examination followed by investigations under the guidance of an orthopedic. Till then for symptomatic relief, you can take over the counter analgesics, do hot fomentation and apply local analgesic gel on the affected areas. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
