Brief Answer:
Can be due to flu.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Bone pain and joint pain can happen along with flu. This is usually temporary and subsides with rest mild pain killers and hot compress. You can increase The frequency of Advil to every 6 hours and see if it helps.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
