When i run, i have a lot of pain in the bottom outside area of my knee. the pain normally causes me to stop running is there a reason for this?

Multiple factors: You must be seen, examined, evaluated , diagnosed and treated. Your symptoms may be related to tendon strain, tears, cartilage , compartment syndrome, or bone injury. I suggest seeing an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine.
