My body is failing me ... or so it seems

I’m not one to complain but some things about my body have been getting worse and worse.

My knees - the mobility in my legs - above my knees and below Is restricted -  but I don’t know why.  I feel weak, I lack energy to run - my speed is gone (not that I was fast but I did pretty good considering my asthma fears, age and conditioning.  

My hip now hurts - I feel like it has something to do with the knee or the tendons and ligaments connecting them.

My ankles and feet.  I can barely walk in the mornings.  I can’t take steps longer than a foot.  Foot pressure pain, ankle, knee and hip.  

Elbow - my elbow became a problem on Saturday a week ago.  I accidentally dinked it while getting something and since then I have not had the strength to lift things with that arm - elbow pain.  Stiffness is constant!  

Fingers and hands gets stiff and sometimes lose mobility too.  They feel like something inside me is restricting my movement.

I still have shoulder tenderness but the elbow is more painful.

My ears - for over a year now I have had a fullness pressure in both ears but the left ear is more worse than  the right. I had hearing tests done a year ago and there was some permanent loss.  About a week ago I had another hearing test and there is more hearing loss,  this is concerning.  Because of the hearing loss the doctor ordered a test called 360 balance and an MRI of the brain.

My eyes get blurry when reading things close up on my phone.

Headaches - every once in a while I have experienced more headaches than in the past.  I usually do not have headaches but now that I get them - they are intense but don’t last long. 

My memory seems to forget recent things - not all recent - but it’s weird that the memory slips away until I am reminded of it. 

I haven’t felt well for a while.  I really think something is wrong but I also don’t want to be a worry wart.  I hope it’s nothing but boredom and being out of condition.  Hopefully my strength will cone back and my pains will leave. 
I know I have arthritis but this seems like a whole lot more than just that!
