Does Stretching In The Direction Of Pain Help To Cure Knee Capsulitis?

i have been diagnosed with knee capsulitus. Does stretching in the direction of pain (in my case, trying to cross my leg), cause damage, or will it eventually lead to healing? I am 49 y/o male, relatively fit. This condition was the result of ignoring discomfort while on a short (5 mile) jog.
