While pains are common as people age, they may also indicate other health issues. The document discusses different types of pains like headaches, back pains, and joint pains. Headaches are usually stress-related but continuous headaches require seeing a doctor. Back pains often improve on their own within a few weeks or months but seeing a doctor is recommended if not better by 6 weeks. Joint pains can be caused by injuries or arthritis, and can be relieved through medications, exercise, or medical interventions. The document provides tips to prevent and relieve different pains and information on senior caregiving services.
