I am 23 years old. In recent days while I was stepping the stairs I am feeling pain under the knee part and there was no sign of swelling. The pain is constant .can someone suggest whether it's a vitamin deficiency or not? If so please suggest the required fruits to eat.

You can always get your vitamin levels (B12, D) checked through blood test for confirmation. Besides deficiencies, this pain can also be due to muscular cramps that might happen due to lack of proper muscle strength. You will need to do strengthening excercises to help that. Thirdly, you will need to follow joint protection techniques like avoid long standing, avoid jerky movements like jumping on hard surface, avoid stair climbing etc till you redevelop the strength in the muscles around knee. You can consult to understand the excercises needed at this stage.
