Accepted Answer

A few can: Several vitamin deficiencies can cause muscle aches but the most common reasons I see are vitamin D3 deficiency and magnesium deficiency (especially in the setting of ibuprofen).

You Need a Doctor: Your symptoms are complex and possibly due to more than one problem. The pain could be from endometriosis or another issue, even appendicitis so see someone. The infertility of 5 years is an issue but you are only 22 yo, so likely correctable in someone so young. Again, you need a doc and testing. I wish it were simpler but you need professional help.
