Sounds like you are suffering form the famous Bocker Knee

There are several theorys as to why but the best explaination I have heard is that when we jump our knees bend back slightly (as in beyond straight ) if this is your problem it will go away as you build up the right muscles

If it does'nt get better soon go see your doc as it could be something totaly different and better safe than sorry

When I pull something I tend to stick to going for long walks on the bocks (no running or jumping) so I keep up the fittness but don't agrivate the injury
