Your knee problem sounds like it is the iliotibia band, the tendon connecting to your knee. Its a common runner ailment, can appear in world class runners without warning. There are a number of preventative stretches, the "centerfold" is perhaps the most well known. With rest your ailment should go away--might take 2 weeks, or a year. Often it will seem ok, you start your run, & a mile or so into it wham! walk back home. I found years ago that running on soft sand was possible with this injury--the 90's equivalent could be treadmill running. The doctor is likely to say "Hurts when you run? Don't run! $100 please."
