You need to start physiotherapy exercises for your knee pain. Additionally avoid squatting, jumping and running. Weight reduction with the help of a dietitian will be very helpful
You will need to get your knee x ray done in ap and lateral view. Also having OA at such a young age is not normal. You need to get visit an orthopaedic surgeon for a check up for early onset osteoarthritis
