Arthritis: Progressing or sudden onset of arthritic problems at his age may be due to several conditions. My recommendation is to consult with a rheumatologist for a thorough evaluation.

Progressive: Arthritis can be caused from several other disorders. To get a better idea why it's feels like it's spreading, he may need to get a referral from his pcp to see a rheumatologist and get lab work done. He may also need imaging of his body to see how progressive the arthritis is.
