Hi.Can understand your concern .As per your query pain in joints at 56 year of age is usually due to arthritis.In arthritis there is inflammation of joints and there are age related degenerative changes in it.It slowly involves all the joints in body .You should loose weight if you are obese by diet control and exercises and daily walk.If joints pain are severe you can take pain killer like voveran twice a day....Diagnosis for arthritis is confirmed by RA test in which blood sample is taken you can go for that to confirm it...You need to consult a orthopaedic doctor for further investigations and treatment...I hope the information helps you.Take care.
