Slowly progressing pain is most probably due to neurological problems. It could be Fibromyalgia, Nerve impingement, or even a progressive neurological disease. Your biggest priority is to see your regular Dr who can do a complete evaluation and exam including a neurological exam and make a more concise diagnosis. He may need to refer you for testing and to a neurologist.

I agree with Dr. K's advice but would bypass your PCP and consult a neurologist straightaway to save time. The issues here would include possible fibromyalgia, hysteria,thalamic pain syndrome due to a lesion in the thalamus. In my opinion,this type of complex workup belongs in the province of a neurologist

I suspect a problem in the brain or the nervous system. It can also be a psychosomatic syndrome where you feel this is related to unrecognized emotional issues. See a doctor

Focal pain of this sort has been rarely seen following a stroke, but that would be sudden not gradual. Cannot exclude other intracranial mechanisms, and a thalamic pain syndrome has been mentioned. Best to obtain MRI of brain and clarify causation. Yes, you would benefit by neurological consultation.
