What Causes Pain In The Knees And Hips While Suffering From Dyspnea?

I am an active 68 yr. old woman. Walk 2-3 miles a day. Early May, I had a little dyspnea with exertion. Then I had an acute episode 2 weeks ago where I could not walk more than 20 steps without having a problem. I was hospitalized for 4 days. Nuclear stress test and echocardiogram were WNL. I still cannot climb two flights of stairs or do my normal gardening/walking without severe dyspnea. Now, 4 days ago, my knees, hips and shoulders have become very painful.
