Ok, you might want to go to some runner specific sites for this one. Or talk to an expert.
I will say that it seems that most of these problems involve trigger points. These are points where muscles have become shortened or damaged so don't function correctly.
Here is a link that describes them basically:

Bump because I have a question.
Most mornings, after running, I feel a lot of pressure both above and below my knees. The pressure gets to the point where I'm just not able to run anymore, and need to walk to work out the pain.
Now, I don't run an extraordinary amount - tops about 4 miles per day, maybe around 15 miles a week (again tops), but I've been running for quite a few years now.
My question I guess is, are there any stretches I can do to relieve the pressure in my knees, or is the problem more serious than that?
