Is Constant Leg Pain A Sign Of Arthritis?

I am 62 years old. Over the past several months I ve been experiencing more leg pains. The pains are an achy like feeling, not severe. I do play softball and work out at a wellness center 2-3 times a week. It just seems like the achy pains seem to linger much longer. Could this be an early sign of arthritis?
