Hello,
Since, you are taking Advair, possibility of COPD related musculoskeletal pain is more likely. COPD is a systemic disease with multiorgan, multisystem complications.
COPD can affect muscles and bone. It actually causes osteoporosis and myositis. So, get done calcium and vitamin D3 levels and if Deficiency, then you will need supplements. You will gradually improve after starting supplements. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
