What Causes Pain In The Right Knee?

I have had some right knee pain, saw an orthopedics and had xrays, which showed some arthritis. The other day on vacation, I had an episode of sharp pain behind my knee, then radiating around it. It is still dieters, and at times while walking, it will give out and I will get a sharp pain again.
