Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I think that you might be having any meniscus or cartilage damage in knee joint. I would suggest you to get MRi of the knee joint to confirm the diagnosis. According to that if we found that there is meniscus injury then you will need a arthroscopic surgery.
If MRI is normal then i would suggest you to avoid squatting and cross leg sitting.
