Knee cracking and pain on climbing is from CHONDROMALACIA PATELLAE where cartilage under knee cap becomes soft and cracks causing pain. Probably you are sitting and working long hours.

Pain on folding legs and climbing stairs suggest meniscus injury.
And it is associated with clicking and locking of knee.
