First, I'd like to recommend that you try taking a magnesium supplement and increasing your intake of things like potatoes and bananas and to ensure you are drinking enough water.  That may help.  Second, do see a doctor and possibly get a referral to a rheumatologist for a complete work up.  You want to rule out any auto-immune issues and he can also check to see if you might have fibromyalgia.  Good luck and please let us know you it goes.
