Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain you have symptoms of pain in knee which exaggerates on different movements like sitting on feet, jumping etc..
It can be due to a number of causes like Traumatic injuries,Tendonitis, Bursitis, ligament or meniscus tears,Osteoarthritis,Iiliotibial band syndrome etc..

You can be advised to take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, muscle relaxants like Chlorzoxasone.
