Joint aches throughout body?

For the past 4 months, my neck is stiff with a limited range of motion. I am 57 years old and play tennis 3 times a week and have attributed it to that, however, my joints through my body ache- knees, hips, shoulders. I take vitamins in the morning and night. Wondering if this is not related to overuse since it’s lasting so long, but is some other problem with similar symptoms. I had my thyroid removed and take Levothyroxine to replace the hormones.

Sounds like simple aging (osteoarthritis), but maybe something more like an autoimmune disease such as Rheumatoid arthritis. A visit to your Dr is in order.
