Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain associated with boils is suggestive of a skin infection with a joint inflammation- can be arthritis or gout. Pain killers and oral antibiotics are needed for proper treatment. I'd suggest consulting a physician for direct examination and proper prescriptions.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
