Hello
I'd recommend you see a rheumatologist for an evaluation and blood work since this sounds like polyarthralgia--an autoimmune disorder.
I would start with these tests--antinuclear antibody, rheumatoid factor, sed rate, and C reactive protein.
The disorder can be effectively treated with proper medications
