Yes, Chondromalacia patellae can be affected in climbing stairs and may cause pain. It is advisable to try walking stairs now itself and see if it affects you. If it does then you can take a decision on stairs in your house.

Hi there
Sorry for the delay in answering. It's advisable to consult a knee surgeon as this may need surgery in some cases.
You can arrange for a slope for movement inside the house along with stairs but not usually necessary. Soft footwear should suffice and less number of stairs.
