I just recently restarted my jogging program and now I have some knee pain. It's on the inside and below my kneecap. It doesn't hurt when I run, however. It only hurts when I'm NOT running. I don't understand it. It's just a dull kind of pain and it came on all of a sudden after my running sessions.

Any ideas on what this could be??? Thanks!

    I had this problem in college - turned out to be my meniscus. It's the padding in your knee (not a ligament), and wouldn't really hurt during activity but post-workout.

    Don't know if that's 100% it or not (lots of possibilities) but I'll tell you my story so you don't get discouraged. I had minor surgery to take out the torn part (~60% in my R knee). I was off crutches in less than a week and playing basketball again in ~2-3 months. I also is not a "life-changing" knee surgery - I just completed my first half-marathon last weekend!
