Usually, knee arthritis doesn't develop at such an early age.
Did you had any injury or jerk after which these problems started.
Is the pain continuously there or intermittent.
Grade 1 meniscus and ACL sprain isn't considered a severe injury which may cause knee arthritis so quickly.
Next Steps
You should start with Hot fomentation, take analgesic with anti inflammatory medicine, calcium and vitamin d supplement, medicines for knee joint strengthening, start knee strengthening exercises.
Health Tips
Avoid sitting down cross leg, avoid Indian toilet, avoid heavy work..
