Runner's knee :(

ive been running everyday the last month...gradually increasing my distance/time/speed, starting about 10 days ago my knee started to get uncomfortable which i thought was normal
this became slightly painful while making my rounds so i stopped and found it was a common condition called runner's knee
most sites ive seen just say to stop running for a few weeks and reinjury is a possibily
its been a week since ive stopped and the leg seems to be getting back to normal, what precautions should i take now and any special exercises?
physical info:5"5' 75kg
usual surface:sparsly grassy field

another problem: after the 3km mark, my left leg becomes numb below the calf...any explanations? (knee problem is in the right leg)
