Body pains: This sounds to be a nerve type pain or irritation. Muscular knots on shoulders/neck can cause this as well as bulging disc which both can pinch nerves causing discomfort & pain. Ibuprofen may help for the pain as well as a warm epsom salt bath. You may also try ice packs alternating with moist heat (wet towel). Both of these help with pain and increase circulation.

See a PCP!: Any number of things can cause these symptoms, including pinched nerves, muscle sprain/strain, viruses (shingles), etc. Since its getting worse, get it checked out!
