Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting on XXXXXXX
From your description it seems to me you are suffering from a form of rheumatic diseases (rheumatism) which could be any type given that they are numerous types.
The most common types of rheumatic diseases that you might be having is rheumatoid arthritis, multiple osteoarthritis (septic or non-septic), lupus, sjogren's etc. Note that they are more than 100 rheumatic diseases and each could manifest with your symptoms.
So if you doctor has to determine which is which for appropriate treatment he/she would have to examine you fully, run some tests and from there determine which treatment will be most effective for you.
Most treatment of rheumatism usually involves use of analgesia, antiinflammatory (steroid/non-steroid), myorelaxants, antidepressants, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, perhaps antibiotics etc.
I will suggest you see a specialist of choice such as a rheumatologist or an internist.
Hope this helps and wish you the best.
