Joint pain, what are my options?

[Ledkr]

So for years now I've suffered from painful joints mostly at night in bed. Hips shoulders and less often knees.
It was a million times worse in a strange bed bit tolerable in my own.
A couple if years ago I started to get awful pains in the top front of my thighs if I walked along way (think a days shopping) trio) that continues to this day.
It was discovered that I had an over active parathyroid which can cause odd muscle or none pain but I had the faulty one removed four weeks ago and if anything it's worse. I now wake at around three with pain in my shoulders a d hips and can't go back to sleep.
I'm supposed to go back to work today but I've been awake since three and can't face it.
Go gave me amilytyptaline in a low dose to help with sleep and joint pain but although I slept really well I woke up hungover and was nasty to the children.
I don't know what to do anymore and today I have got up feeling that I've finally accepted how much this is affecting my life.
I'm 45 with 5 dc one is only 2 so I can't crumble yet.
Any ideas.

Hand you seen a physio? That would be my first port of call.

I did three years ago and she was about to refer me for an MRI but I fell pg and all the symptoms disappeared (replaced by spd) I'm going to self refer today and also get an appointment for dr I'm going to try and tackle this now I realise I can't go on.
Dh is off for three days so I'm going to try to amilytyptaline

As your parathyroid was a problem, could there be a thyroid issue too? I.e. could you have hyperthyroidism?

It would be worth looking at at a good rheumatology website where you can look up symptoms and see if you experience other symptoms which closely match any of the listed illnesses.

It's all been checked and is ok.
Would that cause the pain!
I feel as if with parathyroid the symptoms vary massively and drs seem to focus on the key symptoms but lots of people get some extremely odd symptoms even after surgery.
