What Causes Stiffness In The Joints And Soreness In The Leg And Arm?

I have had stiff joints and sore leg, arm, wrist and neck muscles for four months. It seemed to happen overnight! Prior to that I ve only had stiff joints in my hands plus trigger finger. In the past month, I ve had plantar faciitis and have also needed a shot of cortisone in my shoulder due to rotator cuff limited mobility. What could be the cause?
