I have reviewed your query and here is my advice
Arthritis or arthritic changes in this age of 98 years old, nothing much can be done but the condition can be only managed with symptomatic medicine.
It is being even managed in the same way, if the patient is young and or in middle age. With the history of cardiac disease, it is better to manage the arthritis or joint pain with NSAID (Non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hope I have answered your query.
