Brief Answer:
Osteoarthritis and low calcium and D3 levels.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The degenerative changes in knee meniscus are age related changes due to osteoarthritis. Knee lubricant supplements like glucosamine will help in retarding the further degeneration.
The fatigue in the legs can be due to low levels of calcium and vitamin D3. You can get your blood levels checked and start with suitable supplements.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
