Hi XXXXXXX
To get simultaneous multiple joint and muscles pain invites for. Complete history, whether any fever preceded or is present now,history of sore throat, you full history for dietic daily routine. your family history of joint pains etc
A correlation can be made on other signs and symptoms by an examining orthopedic or rheumatologist
A few blood tests like CBC,CRP,ESR,Rheumatoid factor,ASO titre,ANA are needed
Causes could be viral if fever history or rheumatoid or fibromyalgia which should all be excluded step by step by orthopedic/neurologist/rheumatologist
Ordinarily, in virals,medicines you are taking may subside it in few days otherwise further screening and evaluation may become necessary
For severe pain short course of vicodin or oxycodone or tramadol might be considered if your doctor agrees
