What could intermittent dull joint pain be as a 27 year old female? feels similar to shin splints but location more generalized. no fever, bruising.

It could be the flu: Not everybody with the flu gets a fever. Body aches can be a feature of the flu or other viral infections. How long has it lasted. Other possibilities are fibromyalgia, or a viral infection that settles in the joints. Try ibuprofen for the pain, and give it some time of about 7 days. If not getting better in that time, then consider seeing a Dr. Go sooner if fever comes, or the pain worsens.
