Isn’t normal? Maybe if you never injured them doing things. Knee problems are extremely common, human knees are poorly evolved and prone to injury just by being used.
Backpacking, skiing, horse riding wrecked mine long ago. Now I just try to keep the surrounding muscles fit to hold all the loose shit together.
If your knees are screwed up from “just turning 30”, then that indicates an expectation that you don’t need injuries to have bad knees.
Repetitive impact injury can screw things up, but the vast majority of people bemoaning their old age joints especially in their 30s are not exercising enough and/or are obese.
Whatever the case, bring it up to your doctor, didn’t assume changes like this are just normal/expected.

Thanks for confirming that it isn’t normal. Most people who are 30 have not injured their knees to the point of issues.
