Hithank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical examination is advised. As you are 74 and most of the functionality is reduced I will recommend you to undergo physical therapy. As in aging the metabolism slows down and also they will be a lot of aches and pains along with weakness. In my clinical practice most geriatrics are recommended with physical therapy, and they find a lot of difference in their overall health and functionality. They also get benefit by reduced pain, improved Cardiorespiratory endurance etc. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
