What is wrong when the top of the knee hurts when going up stairs?

It is most likely Osgood Schlatter, which is multiple microfractures below your kneecap. It is commonly cause by growing, and is worsened by going up and down stairs or bending it. At many stores, there are medical bands, or straps that you can wrap around your knee for this. If you get the bands too late, then you need to see a doctor.
There are some things you can try. Ice/Heat application. Ice application is good for recent injuries (within last 48 hours), where your goal is to reduce swelling. Heat application is good for injuries you have for a while, where the goal is to relax and loosen tissues, and stimulate bloodflow to aid the healing process. Stretching. Helps relax the muscles to reduce stress on effected area, increases bloodflow, and can help a great deal with some kinds of knee injuries. Here's some tips - http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/sportsmedicine/ht/stretchingout.htm And then there's always good old rest. Like is said, sometimes all it needs is a chance to recover properly. So be very easy on that leg for a couple weeks, and it might get better on it's own. ibuprofen is an Anti-Inflammatory that can help with pain.

The pain jets up my back and down my right leg to my knee it is in my right hip chief area of Pain is this arthritis or a piched nerve?
You are expierencing what many wrongly claim as a pinched nerve. its not pinched at all. What is going on is that you have a nerve that is touching some sort of protrusion such as a disc. The nerve touches it and then sends what feels like an electrical schock down your leg, sometimes all the way to your tippy toes, sometimes stopping at your knee. either way, it hurts like hell. DO NOT go to a chipropractor. Go to a orthopedic Doctor only..get well

Why does your knee crack when you go up the stairs?
You are putting pressure on the patella (knee cap) when using stairs, especially when going up. If the joint is not sufficiently lubricated by the bursa around it, it will make an audible snap as it moves from one position to another. This is not immediately injurious to the joint, and is more frequent among older adults.
