Hello,
I would explain that his situation could be suggestive of a chronic infection or metabolic disorder. The stomach pain could be related to the painkillers. For this reason, I recommend taking an antiacid. Regarding the leg pain, I recommend performing a leg MRI and checking inflammation tests and vitamin D plasma levels.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
