What Causes Kneecaps To Be Dented And Bumpy?

What causes my kneecaps to be dented and bumpy to touch. I also have pain on the backside of my knees. It hurts to walk down stairs I feel like my knees are going to give way. I can t kneel down without help getting up last but not least is the grinding and cracking I my knees. I have never had a injury to either knees. Thank you
