@Kloi The knee is a complex area where a lot converges. It is worth getting to the bottom of the problem if it persists. The peroneal nerve splits around the area you are describing and it can get squashed if the tissues are a bit inflamed, it can also get impinged higher up and not run well through this area, so the problem can can actually be a lot higher -sometimes right back to the sciatic nerve exiting through the disc. You can also have simple tracking issues with the knee cap being pulled by vastus lateralis or your IT band being too tight. Check through your body and the options to find out what is the issue. Its rarely actually caused by the knee but by something effecting the knee. Flossing the nerves never hurts.
A 5mg vial of BPC157 slit into daily 20 shots might fix a lot but really you want to know what the problem is.
Read More@kloi have a look at those links. Not sure how much time I have before my phone goes back into my pocket, so I'm going to mess with some other shit instead of reiterating things I've said in other threads.
Do look into collagen as well. It helps my joints and skin.
@Bozza strongly seconded. Glucosamine plus chondroitin is the most important supplement to take (at least for me).

Few times a year I'll take 2 weeks off the gym. No training whatsoever.
Just took my first recovery week ever. Looked back over my lifts and realized I'd consistently been progressing for 36 weeks, lifting heavy 3 to 6 times per week.
All my joint and tendon pain is gone that I'd been experiencing the last month. Yahh my lifts took a tiny hit but its like noob gains all over again for the next month.
Only area that seems to hurt more from inactivity is my right outside knee. Something in there is tight/fucked.
If you're still making progress on a given regime then keep running it. Don't fix what ain't broke.
Yahh I could have clarified, I may run the same 4-6 week cycle, multiple times in a row, assuming there's no issues.

@Kloi I would say though don't change it up just for the sake of changing it up.
If you're still making progress on a given regime then keep running it. Don't fix what ain't broke.
But otherwise yeah, switching things up, targeting different muscle fibers etc. is worth doing.
You should change things up every 2-6 weeks
This right here is an idea I've recently adopted. Running 4-6 week cycles that build up to the bigger picture.
That and take a deload week in-between these cycle.
