See your doctor: You don't say where the pain is, which would tell a lot. Morning stiffness is an arthritis symptom and you may have a new or even serious arthritis related problem. Moderate aerobic excercise usually helps. A full history and some simple blood work may get some answers. For comfort some might take Ibuprofen or Tylenol (acetaminophen) at bedtime, but you deserve a medical opinion. Hope you feel great soon.
