Well, you seem to have a wide spread pain all over. The pain you are suffering from and considering your age can have a lot of causes. I would like to ask a few more details before narrowing down on the possible causes and the treatment for the same:
1. Do you experience any swelling in the joints as well, or it just pain??
2. Any history of waking up in the nights due to pain??
3. Any history of early morning stiffness??
4. Any history of dry eyes/dry mouth/oral ulcers/rashes/photosensitive rash/bluish discoloration of fingers on cold?
5. Do you feel irritable and have increased forgetfulness recently?
6. Did you get any blood tests done yet?If yes, could you attach the reports
7. How much of relief are the medications giving you?
8. Any history of weight loss or appetite loss??
Do let me know these queries. I have tried to hit at all the bases which could be a cause of your pain
Await your reply
