Brief Answer:
Possible Polymyalgia rheumatica.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I understand your query and concern.

Your symptoms could be possibly related to Polymyalgia rheumatica.

It is a benign disorder and need to rule out Rheumatoid arthritis.

I advise you to get Anti CCP antibodies, Rheumatoid factor.

If these are negative,Simple analgesics will releive your symptoms.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.
