Hi there.
You seem to be suffering from some form of arthritis and the muscle pains are a part of the disease.
Sluggishness and feverish feeling are a part and parcel of the disease too. It can get exaggerated during the winters or during seasonal changes.

Firstly get a complete arthritis panel blood test done along with an Xray of the diseased part and get it evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon.
Start on an anti inflammatory like Naproxyn and pregablin for the time being.

Short course stetoid like predmet under strict supervision.
Good luck.
