Metastatic cancer: If there is an existing malignancy, then the symptoms you describe are those of a lesion that has metastasized to multiple sites such as bone and lung. In a female the most common lesions would be derived from breast or lung cancer. A PET/CAT scan would resolve the issue of which is true metastasis and what might be neuromuscular.

Not Cancer: It is highly unlikely that those symptoms are related to any type of cancer. I suggest a general examination and getting a general blood test including a Western Blot test for Lyme. Often our physical symptoms are related to other stresses in our life, as well, so it would be a good opportunity to assess those.
