I am not quite as old as you (67) but also suffer with aches and pains . I have osteoarthritis in my neck and spine ,and right knee . I have had an arthroscopy on my knee,but still have a lot of pain,and have been told I will need a replacement. I have tried voltarol,but it doesn't touch it. I have also tried a cream called pernaton(which is green lipped mussels) and that did seem to help a little ,but I fear if it is arthritis ,no cream is realy going to make any difference.Sorry
