As per your description , it seems age related changes on your knees .so nothing much to worry .
Calcium supplements are good to take for preventing further deterioration.but it's not going to help in reducing pain.
Ultrasound and IFT by a physiotherapist can be effective for pain relief.
Knee strengthening exercises are the mainstay to prevent further deterioration of the condition.
