Hello,
At your age thinning of cartilage is not a common condition. If you are having knee pain then most common reason at your age can be overweight and lack of exercise. You may start exercises, vitamin D deficiency can lead to knee pain but for osteoarthritis, it is not a established reason. You may do warm fomentation with water bag over your knee with exercises for at least 3 times a day. There are some supplements which can also be helpful like glucosamine, chondroitin and collagen supplements.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
