You're pounding your joints into dust. Do not run on consecutive days. Walk if you must, or better yet, take up a low impact cardio on odd days.
If you are interested in running technique, look into POSE running. I personally never figured it out, but I'm to impatient to actually practice the "pose".
Alternative you can try running barefoot. I've been at it for a few years with few problems. This will allow you to actually use your foot as a shock absorber. It will demand you completely change you running to be more like a sprint, on the balls of your toes. Trick is to not take big steps, and don't pick your feet up so high. More immediately this will force you to lay off the running since your calves will not keep up and the soles of your feet will agree.
One way or another you need to give your knees a break in the near future, and depending on the overuse that may mean no running at all.
Get a bike.
