Suggest Remedy For Knee Pain In An Obese Person

I have been having knee pain when I cross my leg horizontally and sit in a chair. Also, I feel pain when I bend down and try to get back up, as well as some popping when I walk. I haven t had any injuries to the knee but have had pain for about a week. Should I try ibuprofen regimen before I would have to see a doctor? I am a healthy 52 year old female and I am not overweight.
