Brief Answer:
You need a skeletal muscle relaxant tablet.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, it looks like musculoskeletal pain.
In my opinion, you should take a skeletal muscle relaxant tablet containing Thiocolchicoside instead of Naproxen. A Proton pump inhibitor like Rabeprazole tablet has to added to avoid gastritis.
Please do breathing exercises for chest muscles.
Avoid strenuous exercises which aggravate the symptoms.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.

would that also cause the sever leg cramps in the calve of both legs (painful)?
generally exercise does not cause the systems, or cause them to be worse. I exercise everyday and am a very healthy 67 years old.

Hi
Most of the symptoms that you have mentioned go in favour of musculoSkeletal pain.
Strenuous exercise at the age of 67 is not recommended.
