Hello,
As you explain the situation, this situation might be a fibromyalgia syndrome and you need to consult a rheumatologist specialist. After excluding all the connective tissue disorders than the above is an exclusion diagnosis and needs treatment with steroids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
