Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, you need to get uric acid levels, RA factor and ESR tested to rule out any autoimmune or Rheumatological disorder but if normal can be likely muscular.
Using OTc analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen alongwith muscle relaxants like tizanidine can be helpful. Replacement for B12 folic acid and D3 may be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
