Imani Asks...
Imani, this sounds awful and I suggest you visit your doctor or rheumatologist to figure out what is going on. It might be a condition called fibromyalgia which is muscle pain in multiple muscles.
One thing you can do now, is to take an OTC medication such as Anaprox (naproxen) or ibuprofen. Warm showers or baths can help in the short term, too.
Other culprits are low levels of Vitamin D and magnesium. Omega 3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and chondroitin supplements can be very helpful for muscle and joint pain.
Antioxidants of any type are helpful for any painful conditions because pain is due to inflammation (oxidation is its technical name), hence antioxidants from food or supplements can be very beneficial.
Other options include a form of acupuncture called dry needing, physical therapy, biofeedback, nerve blocks, exercise like walking, yoga, aromatherapy. The key is to keep moving.
