Hello,
What I can infer from your complaints is you have got mild degeneration of the patellofemoral joint. It is a joint involving the knee cap. Activities like squatting and climbing up the stairs usually result in aggravation of pain. I would suggest you physiotherapy sessions with muscle strengthening exercises and stretching exercises. Also, it would be beneficial to avoid squatting and climbing stairs if possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
