Hi
Please mention your age although looking at symptom it look like you have patellofemoral arthritis ( movie theatre sign of knee).
Get the xray : lateral view of knee joint to look for the patellofemoral arthritis
Knee brace is not going to help much ....you should start static quadricep exercises and avoid knee bending activities like staircase
hope you will be better with these things
