    are you running on the road? try running in grass for less shock on your knees

    Asphalt is soft! Avoid sidewalks!

    I have this, but I over worked my knee a while back. I took a few days off iced it ( per dr instruction ) and now it doesn't give me a lot of pain unless I do certain things. Try instead of running to get on the elliptical or swimming
    another good choice is the treadmill is built-in shock absorption system.
    also, fwiw, we all like to to take big strides while running because its going faster, but....
    extending your leg in front of your body is how knees get stressed....
    so, the conventional advice is smaller strides so the knee stays under the body, not not extending in front of the body so much.
    and in theory you go just a fast at a faster pace with shorter strides
