Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.
I really admire your extra-ordinary care for your parents.
All these complain are very common at this age. For both of them I suggest you to give Tablet-Calcimax (if no allergy), once in a day after meal at the interval of 24 hours for 3 months. Add Tablet-Ramcet-D (if no allergy), 2 times in a day at the interval of 12 hours for 5 to 7 days. Apply Voveran gel (for external use) on the painful part of leg 3 times in a day. Just simply apply it. Do not rub it. Also apply an ice on the affected area for 4 to 5 minutes 5 to 6 times in a day. Give them counseling and assurance to build up the confidence about easy and smooth walk.
After doing all these, I hope your parents will get well sooner and further queries are always welcome. I will like to answer them.
Wish your parents good health.
Take Care, Thank You.
