dear friend
it seems you are developing osteoarthritis of the knees with some amount of tendonitis of the patellar tendons.

please get an x ray of the knees done to establish a proper diagnosis, in case the osteo arthritis has set in there are many treatment options available which will be suggested by the orthopedician seeing you depending on the severity of the condition.
