Starting in June, my left knee started feeling stiff and swollen.  It was alternating between painful and uncomfortable.  Running didn't seem to hurt much, but it also didn't help.  I cut things back to give whatever is going on a chance to heal.  I am unaware of any injury; it just crept up on me over a period of months.  At it's worst, I'd abort runs after a 1/4 mile and walk home. 

Currently it feels a bit uncomfortable for the first mile or so, but then it seems to warm up and feel fine by the end of a brief run.  The next morning it's more stiff, but not too bad.  It's affecting my running gait, and my right lower back gets sore when I run.  I don't have confidence in the knee.  I get up from the floor and out of a car like a man 20 years my senior. 

Since I can't recall an injury, I'm not bothering with the doc yet.  "Rest, Ice, Ibuprophen, strengthen your core and quads."  Got it, Doc.  I hope it's fine to ski on all winter, since I already bought a season pass...
