It's not arthritis.It is chondromalacia of patella.In this condition the carriage on the inner surface of patella becomes soft.
Physiotherapy is the mainstay for treatment which should be given together with chondroitin sulfate and collagen supplements.
Avoid using stairs ,sitting cross legged and squatting in the initial period as these activity increase pain.
Take vitamin D3 and calcium supplements
