Hi,
This seems to be a dysfunction of the immune system and will require blood tests to come to a diagnosis.
Sometimes viruses can trigger of hives and joint pain as part of a systemic disorder.
In the meanwhile you can take oral anti-histamines for the hives and apply a soothing lotion to the skin like Calamine.

It sounds like you need to see a physician and get a physical exam done and some blood tests. Your physician should also check you thoroughly for swollen lymph nodes.
