Brief Answer:
fibromyalgia

Detailed Answer:
hi
looks like fibromyalgia.
However since you have a history of hip and cervical arthritis, spondyloarthritis needs to be ruled out.
I hope you have undergone Hla b27 test for that.
if negative it seems like fibromyalgia, which needs tretment with medication like gabapentin/pregabalin.
regular physical exercises,physiotherapy/meditation will help.
regards
