MRI reports are never to be considered as the only way for orthopaedic treatment. A physical examination by an Orthopaedic surgeon is a must as in your case. The cystic lesion is the only thing that could give you trouble and needs to be seen clinically by an Orthopaedic or General Surgeon. Knee cap related complaints seem vague and will not "move freely" without an anteceding injury.
Next Steps
Meet an orthopaedic surgeon in person.
Health Tips

The symptoms you describe—pain while climbing stairs and walking, along with a feeling of looseness or increased movement of the kneecap—may indicate patellofemoral pain syndrome or patellar instability. This could be due to ligament laxity, muscle imbalance, or previous injury. Conservative treatment is often effective and may include rest, physiotherapy, and strengthening exercises for the quadriceps and hip muscles.
Next Steps
Visit an orthopedic specialist to evaluate the stability of the kneecap and rule out ligament or cartilage damage.
Health Tips
- Avoid high-impact activities like running or jumping until the pain reduces.
- Apply ice after activity and consider using anti-inflammatory medications if prescribed.
- Don’t ignore the symptoms if they persist or worsen—it could lead to further joint damage
