Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello
Depending on your age and sex I would say the cause is either the arthritis or if you are a female maybe osteoporosis.It may affect the spine and this causes aches in both upper and lower extremities
I would suggest to do a full blood count for this two disease ( Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis) and radiology examinations and proper treatment by specialists.
Another rare cause may by fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome that may look like this signs for which the treatment is more of physiotherapy , life still change, psychotherapy, exercises.
I find this answer helpful
