Detailed Answer:
Hello.

The muscle pain with all the symptoms that you have described can be related to an inflammatory disorder or a viral infection of the brain or nerves like meningitis.

This needs a proper evaluation by a neurologist and a few investigations for proper diagnosis. Do attend an ER without delay.
