Hello,

Thank you for your question. Pain in the knee, calf, and back during walking can indicate several potential conditions, depending on her age, medical history, and activity levels.

Possible Causes

  1. Osteoarthritis: Common in older individuals, especially in the knees, leading to pain during walking.
  2. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Reduced blood flow to the legs can cause pain in the calves during walking (intermittent claudication).
  3. Sciatica: Nerve compression in the lower spine can cause radiating pain in the back, buttocks, and legs.
  4. Vitamin Deficiencies: Low levels of Vitamin D or B12 may lead to muscle and joint pain.

Next Steps

  1. Consult a doctor to evaluate her condition with proper clinical examination and diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, blood tests, or a Doppler scan (if PAD is suspected).
  2. Encourage mild physical activity, if tolerable, along with rest.
  3. Maintain a balanced diet and hydration.

Additional Information Needed

  • Does she have a history of arthritis, diabetes, or other chronic conditions?
  • Are there any associated symptoms like swelling, redness, or numbness?
  • Is the pain constant or worsens with specific activities?
