Diffuse Pain

Based on your answers, some of the most likely causes of your joint pain include polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), rheumatoid arthritis (especially if you have joint swelling), muscle strain, and a viral infection.

However, there are other possibilities, and more than one condition could be present at the same time to cause your symptoms.

While over-the-counter pain medicines and rest, balanced with exercise, may be helpful, it is important that you see a physician to evaluate these symptoms.
