Brief Answer: Description below. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for your query. Considering your age and your present complaints, you might be suffering from chondromalacia patellae, which causes pain in your knee when you get up from sitting position. But it is too early to say that you are suffering from this condition, without a proper clinical examination by an orthopaedician. Visit your doctor, get yourself examined. Your doctor will advice you to go for a xray. Generally physiotherapy for your quadriceps muscle with straight leg raising and knee mobilisation will improve your muscle strength and will decrease the symptoms. Reducing weight is of prime importance if you are overweight. These type of symptoms can also occur due to deficiency of vit D. I will advise to check your vit D3 level. Eat a diet rich in fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, nuts, milk, eggs, pulses and cereals. Drink 1-2 litres of water daily. Do brisk walking exercise for 40 minutes daily. Get 6-8 hours of refreshing sleep daily. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
