• Your Feb 2025 X-ray showed “early degenerative changes” → this usually suggests very mild early Osteoarthritis or even a positional finding.
• Your latest X-ray (April 2026) is completely normal
Next Steps
• You CAN continue your job, but with precautions
Health Tips
• Stair climbing is the biggest stressor on knees → limit repetition
• Do exercises like:
– Straight leg raise
– Wall squats (controlled)
• Avoid:
– Squatting frequently
– Sitting cross-legged for long
• Use knee support if long working hours

Early degenerative changes, can be checked to prevent their progress.
You can avoid squatting, use a crepe bandage or knee cap while walking or standing for a long time.
Please share detailed medical history, then I can help you.

Your latest X-ray is normal.You do not currently have strong proof of major knee degeneration.
But because your work puts high stress on the knees, if you have ongoing pain, office job is safer long-term.
If symptoms continue, MRI + orthopedic review is the best next step.
