Diffuse Pain

Based on your answers, some of the most likely causes of your joint pain include thyroid disease, polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), rheumatoid arthritis, and a disease affecting the bones (such as an overactive parathyroid gland or too little vitamin D). However, there are several other conditions that could 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.
