Hi
It could be a sub-clinical viral infection - causing muscle pain and diarrhoea.
It could be loss of electrolytes (low salt ) from loose stools.
See your GP - have Blood count / ESR / Electrolytes / and Stool analysis
Beware of imodium - especially, if there is fever as also blood, pus in stool.
You will need a lot of fluids wen there is diarrhoea - dehydration could contribute to your picture
Good luck
