Hello, is it possible, correct, idiomatic to say:

Every bone in my body is aching. (???)

If I want to say all my body hurts.
Or any other idea?

Thanks a lot.

I ache all over.
 
We often say, "I'm aching in muscles I didn't know I had!"

Yes, that's often said. It's not anatomically correct, but it's idiomatic. I guess you can't have it all.
