Brief Answer:
Can be due to osteoarthritic changes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in wrists and leg on walking at his age is likely to be due to osteoarthritic changes in the joints. These are age related degenerative changes in the big weight bearing joints of the body. Mild pain killers, rest, physiotherapy exercises, hot compress and joint lubricant supplements usually help in improvement. It is best to consult an orthopedician personally and after proper evaluation of severity of symptoms get the proper medicines prescribed.
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.
