Namaste ji.
At ur age bones usually become weak due to osteoporosis n generalised pain sometimes occurs.
Morning stiffness may indicate some inflammatory disorder n may need few tests to look in to this.
To protect ur joints u shd do some resistive exercises and take diet rich in calcium n proteins.
Some medicines may be given for which u may visit hospital.
Regards

These symptoms can be due to many disease like Rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory pathologist. Better to consult with a pain management doctor or a rheumatologist who will ask you for some tests like RA factor, Anti CCP, CBC with ESR, CRP and kidney functions test. Accordingly treatment would be given
