Brief Answer:
Have you been tested for diabetes ?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

1. I have reviewed you information fully. The diffuse nature of this pain makes it unlikely to be related to a possible bone metastases of the previous melanoma. If it were, it would be localized pain as opposed to pain in multiple and unrelated positions.

For this reason, I will rather suggest you see a Rheumatologist for evaluation for possible causes such as fibromyalgia.

2. Your test results are within normal ranges only. As for excessive urination at night, this could point to diabetes. I strongly recommend that you get evaluated for diabetes.

I hope to hear back from you. I wish you well.

Feel free to follow up with me for more clarifications and insights if need be.

Kind Regards
