Don't let that stop you! A very large fraction of knee (and other joint) pain are that the wrong muscles are weak.

Most knee pain that I and folks around me have had was resolved by some combination of front or side leg raises and squats.
Edit: Before I started running, I had a lot of knee pain and it was getting in the way of me doing short runs like this and skiing. After breaking down, I went to a doctor, the doc did some exams and found nothing fundamentally wrong with my knee. She prescribed physical therapy, I did the exercises and kept doing them after PT was over. Some time later some issues started coming back because I got lazy with the exercises (still running) and a friend pointed me at that book. The book somewhat has a recipe of "If this hurts, do that. If you want to prevent this from hurting, do this other thing". Totally totally worth it.
I don't have a good answer for your question, but I'm able to self Diagnose and attempt to treat with home exercise using The Athlete's Book of Home Remedies by Jordan Metzl. Metzl is a doctor, so it isn't fake advice. Its just advice on how and what to strengthen to prevent and treat specific injury types. He also has information on when you should contact a doctor.
Its totally worth the $16. I've used it so often that some of the pages are starting to fall out and I've only had it for a few months!
