Pain From Hip To Knee, Unable Walk Or Stand For Long. Facing This Since Childhood

I get this pain in my knees when I walk or stand for too long. I recently had to quit my job because I could barely walk after 8 hours of walking and standing. I have more of a problem with my left knee and sometimes it hurts from my hip to my knee. Also sometimes when i squat or kneel down my left knee will pop and its followed by pain. Every since I was a child my knees would hurt really bad after walking for long periods of time. I just want to know what this could be.
