Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Upper Arm Muscles, Shoulders And Thighs

I am experiencing significant muscle pain in upper arms/shoulder and upper leg areas. I have been taken off statins as of 3 weeks ago, but pain has gotten worse in that time frame, not better. Also I have had psoriasis on both elbows for 25+ years and in my ears also.
