knees

Hi. I just started running cross country and since then my knees have hurt. It is the same feeling/ hurt I noticed when I bent my knees when I used to ice skate.

I am bo-legged, and one physical therapist tried to allign my knees properly. She said I should take time off until they are "healed." However, another doctor said my knees would hurt until I stopped growing, and he said he saw a lot of cases like me. (I think they are common. It's my potella (I know I spelled that incorrectly) that is, I believe, rubbing into the surrounding bones on impact, and I feel it when I run and play tennis and squash. (But not as much in the last two)

I am very confused. Any advice would be very much appriciated. Thank you soooo much!
