Health and fitness...

I may try squats but getting up from the ground is my biggest issue,it might be hard for me.

 
I'd second max when it comes to therapy bands. I've been using them to help rehab my knee after reconstruction surgery.

Get some therapy bands, one end in each hand and put your feet on the middle whilet sat down and extend your legs. Same exercise, lower impact. Super cheap and easy to vary the resistance

That's a great idea, and there's a lot to be said for exercise that you can do casually.  Everything (that doesn't kill you) makes you stronger.

Got them,but not used them for a while,worth another go...

 
UPDATE:I bought a Turbo trainer(used it twice),then an opportunity arose for me to take on a menial job with the local council="Litter operative" easy~ish work with a lot of walking involved and I'm glad to say it is doing me the world of good.Only a week in and I can definately feel an improvement in my mobility and pain.Still not good with jumping impact but that's gone and I need to work around it.And the best part is I played the Sunday (20/03) before I started the job,fearing the worst but it's all working out fine.As I suspected it was/is lack of use that was causing the mobility and pain issues.Also I discovered that perhaps footwear is part of the issue,I wore boots for 4 days them swapped to safety trainers for 1 day and the difference is great.I may wear them at my next walk-on but I need to be wary of ankle support.Thanks for all the replies and advice...

 
Sounds a bit weird, but yoga / stretches PROPERLY;

Key to keep all muscles stretched - obviously you cant stretch your knee joints but the gradual light movement overtime will help keep everything free and flowing.

Might not get rid of the issue, but worth a try to see if it relieves it.
