I started running a few years ago and did not think I was going to be able to continue due to terrible knee pain. 

I did two things:

1. I started taking Trigosamine, which is a combination of Glucosamine/Chondroitin/Hyaluronate.  I take it every day and my knees do not hurt me any more when I run.  (They still creek every once in a while when I bend down, but not near how they used to). 
2. I went to the Trac Shak (a local running store) and was fitted with inserts for my shoes.

It probably would not be a bad idea to go see your GP but these things won't hurt! 

Here is a website where you can order the trigosamine:  www.trigosamine.com.  I have ordered from them several times because you can get it much cheaper than you can in the drug stores.  The only place I have found it so far in a store is in a Rite Aid drug store.  $30 for a months supply.  (sometimes this site is a bit slow to deliver, so you may want to buy a starter from your local pharmacy)

I have had no problems with it, and most folks I have told about it say the same, but there are some that can't tolerate it.

Good Luck!
