Ran a 10k on the 31st. Felt fine, until last 1k and my left knee felt like it needed to pop. Then, when it wouldn't, it kind of siezed up and felt like someone stuck a fork in it. Ouch. 
That evening and next day it felt bruised and twingy...but only when touching it directly and only when walking down stairs. No other pain. 
Today ,didn't feel bad, so decided to try a short run. A few strides in and that same sharp pain again. And now that bruising feeling. It doesn't hurt in most positions I put it in. Only when running. Could bike fine. Can kneel on it. It seems it is impact related. 
Any ideas?

I am pretty sure it isn't Patella femoral syndrome. I had that in my competing days and this feels rather different. More acute and specific. No radiating pain. No swelling (that is obvious, anyway). I'll give it some more rest, and stretching never hurts. 
Thanks, TJ for the link.
