Did you have a cold or flu-like illness 1-3 weeks prior to the onset of this pain, if so, consider a post-viral polyarticular polyarthropathy
If you are taking a hydroxy methyl glutaryl Coenzyme A inhibitor (statin), the above post may be correct
Fibromyalgia generally does not have a sudden onset, and usually first presents to patients in their 30's
It is still possible to have seronegative RA.
I do have some concern over the diagnosis of osteoarthritis if it was truly a sudden onset.
Best advice would be to see a good rheumatologist (yes, I know that's sort of an oxymoron)
Good luck and hope you feel better

Could be Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR)Your symptoms sounds very similar to what happened to me. If a day or two on Prednisone makes the symptoms disappear than that’s a good possibility of what it could be. Worth discussing with your doctor and reading about it online.
