??: Mps does not fit a diagnosis. Aches can be from reactions to some medications. Get a second opinion. Could be neuropathy or neuropathic joint pain.

Many possibilities: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy).
