For those of you who call yourself pros, professional athletes, whatever.. and yr not working out, you are wrong... and that doesn't mean you have to workout to be the next mr. olympia, so you can't do your ninja tuck moves anymore there children..

Strengthening your quad muscles is key. You need to start off low and work your way up. Straight leg raises (with your good knee bent) are helpful. Even keeping your bag leg straight (if you can, dont force it) and press your knee down to contract the quad muscle will help.

Read that. I do all those exercises at PT and they describe the movement better than I can.

GO SEE A DOCTOR!!!! You could have some serious damage and not know it yet.

Do you feel your kneecap buckle when you walk? How often do you have pain?

The gluocosamine (sp?) and espom salts mentioned earlier are good temporary reliefs. Same with advil or any other type of pain meds. Wearing a knee brace is a good idea, too.

I do recommend stretching but you need to be careful in how you stretch b.c you could do more damage if you don't know what your doing. If your knee is locked and you can't straighten it, don't force it. You need to lay off your leg and ice your knee. I can describe some physical therapy exercises if you think it would be helpful.
