Unlikely: It is unlikely that you have a rheumatic condition but it can happen. I would first try working with a physical therapist or sports trainer to begin a strength training program (gently, slowly). Combine that with yoga or stretching. Give it 8 weeks and see if symptoms improve. If not, consider seeing a rheumatologist for further evaluation.
