Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Most common cause for small joint pain in old age is calcium and vitamin d 3 deficiency. So better to get done calcium and vitamin d 3 levels. If deficiency then you will need supplements. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Possibility of stroke is very very less for your symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
