Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the different areas that you are having can be due to arthritic changes in the joints or due to Vitamin D3 deficiency. For proper diagnosis, some of the blood tests are advisable like-
1. Serum calcium, vitamin D3 levels.
2. Serum Uric acid levels.
3. RA factor
4. ESR and CRP
5. Serum Creatinine
6. X-ray of affected joints.
Do start taking proper supplements after the reports. Till then continue with mild pain killers and a hot compress with application of local analgesic gel for relief.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
