Hi and thanks for the query,
Stiffness on the entire body could arise from numerous medical conditions. these could range from rheumatologic disease like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus etc. Vitamin deficiencies with accompanying electrolyte problems (low calcium, low magnesium) could also present as such. Neurological diseases like Parkinson s disease could also present as stiffness, but is unlikely in your case because of your age. I suggest you meet a doctor. Kind regards
