Brief Answer:
Probably the symptoms are related to diabetes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Diabetes can lead to a variety of complications.

Symptoms of diabetes related to musculoskeletal problems include muscle pain, joint pain or stiffness of the muscles.

I recommend to use a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three tablets a day.

Warm compresses can also be helpful to relieve the pain.

I also recommend to maintain the blood sugar under control.

I suggest to eat healthy and exercise regularly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
