Heat/ ice pack: I presume you have tried ice pack then heating pad. Have you tried NSAID? It is also possible that you may have ended up with knee injury or just the beginning of osteoarthritis. If the problem persists or gets worse, it is best to consult an orthopedist.

Be seen: There are so many possibilities that it is really hard to say without more history and the benefit of an exam. An avid runner is at risk for a stress fracture. Symptomatic chondromalacia at the patellofemoral joint, a meniscal tear, an inflammatory condition of the knee like chondrocalcinosis are all considerations. Consider being seen for an accurate diagnosis.
