Great question. I have lots of suggestions for you on my social media videos and posts. Basically healthy eating( check out my post on the anti-inflammatory diet)and regular exercise, as well as getting good night's sleep are some of the things you can do to alleviate pain and soreness.
First of all, you need an examination to find the core of the problem. After that there are many different approaches: Acupuncture, homeopathy, yoga, medicinal herbs, reiki, etc.

Get all of your blood work completed to determine any deficiencies or dysfunction, especially with the vitamins and minerals. Pain maybe the result of chronic inflammation. Provide as much support to the immune system and the gut (proper nutrition, detoxification and elimination).
It depends on the cause of your pains. You need to be evaluated to determine if these are just simple muscle aches from strain/sprain or with underlying systemic or more serious conditions. But most of the time heat helps soothe simple muscle and joint aches.
The most obvious answer is to talk to a doctor who specializes in physical pain and physical functioning. Even now, during this crisis, many doctors practices, like mine, are offering Telehealth visits, to help evaluate you properly. That is the first step. Exercise is also key, as long as you don't have any conditions that would prevent you from safely excising. Exercise is medicine.
Clean up your nutrition. Perform healthy physical activity daily. Get appropriate rest to recover. Meditate and breathe relief into yourself.
