Feels maybe like its flaring? I think it could have been the result of some squats. Also doing a lot of stairmaster lately.

Does this sound like something to get checked out, or just a sore knee?
Hey, try this... It could be a result of a stiff Iliotibial tract band or sore adductors, get a foamroller and roll along your IT band (the side of your leg) and it will help release the tension built on your knee joint.

Something else you can do if you don't have a foamroller, is to lightly squeeze the lower end of your quads, and move up the leg and back down the leg.

It really helped for me, so I hope it helps for you.
