Knee Pain for 6 months
I am 34 year old male. For last 6 months I am experiencing pain in my knees whenever I do squats and sometimes climbing stairs. Please note that they do not pain while running or walking or playing any sport. Also, I never had any knee injury in the past. I feel the pain slightly more in right knee compared to the left one. Please help.

You have described pain which increases on doing squats or climbing stairs. This most commonly indicates some pathology of the knee cap ( "patella").
You need to consult an orthopaedic surgeon/ knee specialist, who may prescribe some Xrays, and maybe even an MRI, if required for any cartilage pathology.
The first line of treatment is usually physiotherapy to balance out the muscles around the knee. You may need to take medicines as and when required to relieve the pain. You need to avoid high flexion knee activities, eg. squatting, sitting cross-legged, floor exercises, etc. for 2-3 months.
