May need blood tests: Please see a family dr. For blood tests to assess whether you have treatable diseases or infections that cause these type of symptoms.

Can be a few things: New onset joint pain can be from: viral illness ( like parvovirus), or from an early type of inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. See your pcp first; if diagnosis not clear see a rheumatologist.
