Brief Answer:
Tablet Shelcal-HD

Detailed Answer:
Hello, greetings!
Thanks for posting your query in hcm.
I have gone through your query and it sounds like you are suffering from osteoarthritis which means degeneration of knee joint that is common at your age.
You should continue with walk everyday.
You can start taking SHELCAL-HD tablet once a day after dinner. This is a combination of calcium and vitamin D3 which will help in maintaining your bone health.
Also, you may undergo hot water fomentation for your knee joint, this will help in reducing pain.
If you have any further doubts/ clarifications, you may get back to me.
Regards,
Dr. Sonia
