Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.

You are suffering from polyarthralgia, the cause might be viral infection.

Right now adequate rest, good analgesic medications and avoiding strenuous activity will benefit you.

I would also like to give some advice to make the life better and to fight with these pains-

Do regular physiotherapy of joints.
Hot fomentation to decrease the joint stiffness
Take diet rich in Omega 3 fatty acid , complex carbohydrate, Vit-D &calcium,fruits and vegetables.

You need to consult an Orthopedician for proper investigations and further treatment.

Wishing you good health
Regards.
Dr Saurabh Gupta
