Since my first race, I've been having pain in the knee. It starts right around mile 5/6 in my long distance runs and the best way to explain it is to say it feels like someone is taking a screwdriver and sticking behind my knee cap, then turning. It's very painful. Has anyone ever experienced this and what did you to do to treat/prevent the pain?

Maybe you can try using a Tibetan healing chakra to help with your knee.

Could be lack of circulation. I had that when I ran. The muscles and joints in my knee weren't getting enough circulation so they would start to ache and whane after a few miles. My wife got me a wrap for my birthday. Works great.

Look up BURSITIS on wikipedia. The pockets of fluid that protect the knee from continuous friction become overstimulated and the fluid builds up, leading to inflammation in that area. There are several areas about the knee that contain these pockets. The pain comes from the enlargened pocket. Treatment is to apply ice for 20 minutes each day and make sure to elevate the knee, and to give your knees a rest and do not exercise in order to give the knee time to heal, additionally, to perform exercises to strengthen the thigh muscles and to take anti-infalammatory meds such as NSAIDS. Prolonged stress to the already inflamed knee will cause scar tissue to build up overtime if measures are not taken to take care of the knee. Scar tissue accumulated will increase your bouts of bursitis and make it constant. An additional cause of bursitis is obesity and/or bow-leggedness, flat-footedness, and other such structural abnormalities of the feet.

Eh, bursae don't tend to inflame just due to running unless it is highly excessive overuse activity. (As in the level that you would need to give yourself a stress fracture. Potentially more.) They're usually really obvious as well, as they present with a large, localized, bulbous swelling.
It would be better if you stop running for now. Otherwise this problem would turn something chronic. I know one kind of exercise which is very simple. Keep in mind that this exercise is only work out good for those who is suffering just knee problem. Not a chronic one.
Just Place your left foot on the first step of a stairway and your hand on the wall for balance. Slowly step up onto your left foot so that you are standing tall on the step with left foot and your right foot’s off the ground. At this stage just hold for a second and then step back down off the step onto your right foot. S there is no weight on your left foot. Repeat this exercise up to 5-8 times. Reverse legs, and repeat up to 5-8 times.
If you need to take rest then take a short rest between steps.
