Pain beside one knee (new runner)

Hi guys,

I started running for a couple of months a few years ago and didn't have any problems; I hurt my back so took a break and never returned. Recently I've started again, but am having issues with a recurring pain - we're not talking long distance here, just 3.5k (although I've done 5k).

The pain is on the right leg, on the right side of the knee, and above to the right of the knee. After a short run it's a slightly sore but not too bad, when I wake up the next morning, it's very sore - especially when walking down stairs. I took a week off (I was only jogging every other day) as it was just getting worse, but my first run back last night resulted in the same problem.

I'd appreciate any advice on putting my finger on the cause.

Russell.
