Hi,
There are a number of different possible causes for muscle aches and pain. You may want to consider seeing a rheumatologist for assessment.
Conditions such as RA, lupus, myositis etc would need to be considered. Your medications would also need to be assessed to see if they can be contributing to your discomfort.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
