Depends on cause!: There are many different causes for this type of symptom. At age 73 it's possible that your mother's aches are due to arthritis. Sometimes, this type of symptom is caused by "statins" a class of cholesterol lowing medications. She should see a doctor.

See a rheumatologist: Have her see a rheumatologist. While there can be several causes for her symptoms, polymyalgia rheumatia is relatively common in her age group.
