Brief Answer:
Needs joint replacement
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Thanks for the query.
You are suffering from severe arthritis of the knee.
The three compartments are involved which makes it very painful to walk or flex the knee. The Baker's cyst occurs at the back of the knee. Since it has ruptured it can cause severe pain in the calf muscles.
Avoid climbing stairs, squatting, cross leg sitting, kneeling. Apply hot water bag for relief. Pain killers will also be useful. Joint injections in the form of Steroid or Hyaluronic acid all reduce the pain and stiffness for about 3 months.
I would recommend you to get the joint replaced.
Kindly upload the Xray film if possible for me to be in a better position to help you.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
Regards,
Dr. Aashish Raghu

These multiple problems are due to age related changes of Osteoarthritis which tend to affect many joints.
It would be best to apply heat to the painful joints in the form of hot water Bag. Avoid moving around the joints much. Try Aerobic exercises to help keep fit.
