Changing pads is pretty straightforward. If you have neck and back problems, getting the car jacked up and the wheels off and back on may be your biggest challenge.

I just looked and found a bunch of videos on changing brake pads and rotors on YouTube, if you need them. Rotors should be OK if they just have wear that looks like the grooves on an old record. If they have deeper grooves that feel ridgy to a fingertip or will catch your nail, they need to be resurfaced or replaced. Nowadays you can get new Chinese rotors for what it costs to get your old ones turned.
