Running Knee Pain

See Pictures here http://www.wbba.net/knee
Pointing to left knee. Inside of left knee just below knee cap and to the left. I can feel the band of muscle? 2 to 3″ in lenght.
Pain seems to be closer to the surface and not deep at all. If I press it I will feel a sharp needle type pain, yet if I press hard enough and massage it it feels good with little or no pain. I can bend my knee or straighten in out while sitting and feel no pain. If I try to walk on it I feel like I need to baby it because I get a jolt of pain. If I try to run on it, well forget it when the heel comes down it hurts bad. I hut it 3 weeks ago and stopped running. I added to my stretching/yoga program yogga for runners stretches. Thi sfelt good up to 4 days ago, and now it seems to hurt worse since I started my running routine again
Walked the first day 3 miles, Ran the next day 5 miles, walked the next 3 miles and then ran my last 5 miles before I tried again today, but had to stop because of the pain. Any suggestions?

    if you are not already doing so..ICE.
    Either with ice cups, or getting into an ice bath, this will help if it is a tendonitis or muscular problem. Massage the area, take antiimflamatories, and think about seeing a PT if it doesn’t resolve itself.
