Hi
Thanks for writing your query
After going through the brief description of yours. The most likely cause seems to be inflammation present around the tendons (pes anserinus bursitis) in that area which helps in knee bending (flexion). For now my advice would be take a break from running for few days (7-10).Take ibuprofen to reduce pain and do ice fomentation.
Take care and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
