Hi,
Your joint pain can be due to low serum calcium or vitamin D levels (revealed with blood testing) & relieved by supplements / Joint inflammation due to arthritis (rheumatic ).
Needs to be investigated to be followed by specific medication.. to treat joint pain &prevent other complications like heart problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
