Hi,
Thanks for asking I understand your concern.
Your knee & calf seems to be due to over weight, degenerative arthritis( osteoarthritis ) of knee joint exaggerated by over weight & calcium & vitamin deficiency .
You need to control all three factors with help of a rheumatologist( medicines, physiotherapy). & dietitian
Thanks
