Stretch: Please see my previous answer on runners' knee. Briefly, stretch your hamstrings and it band before and after u run. Avoid running hills. Use ice massage to tender areas for 20-30 min after u run. Try otc nsaids . If it continues to hurt despite above rest and crosstrain! good luck!

Pain in front ofknee: Pain in the kneecap , or just below or above it, is usually consistent with runner's knee. You should try to keep your muscles well balanced with strength and flexibility, to minimize or alleviate your symptoms.
