Take some rest initially . Perform quadriceps strengthening exercises. Local ice pack will help. Yes you can work, just that your knee will pain a little bit.
Next Steps
Try Plasma Rich Plasma(PRP) or chondrocyte implantation therapy. Medications like Cartigen DN will help.
Health Tips
excessive bearing weight(walking) will damage cartilage further (as in osteoarthritis).
