What to do about knee pain?

I experience a knee twinge (and sometimes mild pain) in one knee when biking at any speed other than S-L-O-W. This is new, as I have been biking to work for at least a year. Recently, I;ve felt the pain while sitting 'just so' (how? I don't know exactly, but shifting usually eliminates it). I also feel it while walking down hill and squatting, but not during normal walking. I have tried to let up on these types of activities to give my knee time to heal, but I lead an active life and it is difficult to cut back.

I don't think I have arthritis because I am still in my early 20s.

Has anybody had this type of pain, and what did you do?

Update:

It feels like the outside of the knee.

    Could be bursitis. Is the inside part of your knee sore? You might try some OTC anti-inflammatory meds and a brace for support.
