Knee pain could be ligament, muscle, meniscus, or other, or all.
My frame of reference is knee pain brought about by a combination of weight gain, muscle loss (particularly around the vastus medialis), exacerbating poor control, leading to inflammation around the medial collateral ligament, and general scrawnchiness of the meniscus.
Treatment was initially neuromuscular exercises to bring wayward motions back into check, then transitioning to strength work, from general (squats), to specific (single leg stiff deadlift, or split squat with banded extensions), to extremely specific (seated banded oblique leg extension to target the vastus & nothing else).
You experience may be any combo, or none, of the above, and even if the same, an effective treatment may be any combo from all to none of the above.
Seeing two physio has fixed it (fingers crossed) for me - you may be luckier!

I meant to post this to @edmundro
But its a great resource in general.I suspect, sadly, that you may need some pronation protection @edmundro- might be worth a quick gait analysis at one of the shops that offer it.

Quick bit of knee pain advice?
Just got back into running after a couple of years off - keeping my pace slow and my gait is pretty ok. Inside front of left knee is a bit sore, feels like it’s outside not deep in the joint or anything.
Is this my body just getting back to running and can be stretched out or something to be concerned about?
