Brief Answer:
Yes you can take it.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You can take tramadol and acetaminophen to control the pain due to arthritis at your age. You will need a prescription to get these. You can also take some calcium supplments to help with the age related osteoporosis.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
