Dear Kumar,
For your knee pain-----
Make sure your weight is appropriate. Continue to do the strengthening & stretching exercises-  3 to 4 times a week. Continue to walk/run the other days and make sure you rest 1-2 days.
Wear an ace wrap or knee brace, if it continues to bother you-go to Anklenfoot.com  online webstore for examples.
Exercise, good diet and good weight is the best!!!
Good Luck
Hope This Helps
