Brief Answer:
Is it fibromyalgia

Detailed Answer:
Good evening

Thank you for writing on health care magic

Well, I would like to ask you a few more queries before I can come to a conclusion as the symptoms you are pointing to look towards chronic pain syndrome/fibromyalgia. However we need to exclude the other diagnosis at the same time...

1. Do you experience any irritability /forgetfulness

2. Do you experience dry eyes/dry mouth

3. Is your sleep cycle proper or you tend to wake up frequently?

4. How is the fatigue levels during the day?

5. Has your Vitamin D levels been checked yet?

6. ANy unusual symptoms of hair fall/oral ulcers/rashes

Do let me know these queries. Would guide you further from here to figure out what exactly is going on

Detailed Answer:
Good evening

thank you for your reply

Well, firstly we should substitute your vitamin D Levels so they are in the normal range as it will help combat the fatigue and joint pains.

2. your symptoms mostly fit in with a condition called Fibromyalgia. I would like you to go through this article on the site.. WWW.yyyyyyyyy.org--> Patient education--> Fibromyalgia.

See if your symptoms fit into it and let me know. I can guide you further with treatment and how to manage it
