Hi there.
You first of all need to get an Xray of the knee joint done with a special skyline patella view.
Start a pain killer like Etoricoxib for the time being along with thigh muscles strengthening exercises.
If Xray is not confirmatory then next step is to go for an MRI of knee joint.
This most probably is a case of CHONDROMALACIA.
Good luck
