Weird sudden onset joint pain

Very odd and looking for ideas
About four hours ago my left elbow started hurting., like I'd banged it but gradually got worse, not terrible but wouldn't want to put a lot of weight on it and it hurts if extended fully. I had a minor tussle with a horse earlier so thought it had just got a bit wrenched and was stiffening up. But then a few hours ago my feet started hurting a bit, not the joints, more the heels. Then my left knee and now my right elbow. Just bizzare.
Have googled and just the autoimmune arthritis type things come up, which it clearly isn't, or post viral inflammation, but I haven't been ill.
It's not bad, have just taken ibuprofen and gone to bed but am a bit perplexed.
Came back from Africa a week ago but did take anti malaria tablets, have googled and doesn't fit the symptoms.

I thought I would drop you a quick note, without an examination it sounds like a trapped nerve. The thing with trapped nerves is that it can be radiating from one part of your body and run through to extremities. Thus you thinking it’s your elbow etc. Do you think you may have jolted your head/neck? Any tenderness? If you experiencing more pain in 8 hours ring your GP.
