Knee Pain after using Treadmill

Hi,

I recently used the treadmill in the gym and after about a mile I
started feeling discomfort in both knee's, mainly the left one. I
stopped running and started using some of the other equipment instead.
Prior to this (about 4 days earlier) I'd run about 4-5 miles on the
treadmill with no problems.

Its now about 1 week later and I'm still getting discomfort from my
knee's. Its got a little better but my right knee seems to click now
and again if I sit still for a while, its never done thart before on a
regular basis. I've never had any problems before, infact I used to get
shin splints but nothing more. I got some new trainers to fix the
problem with splints and I must say until the knee problem they seemed
to be working well.

I should mention I usually use the cycle machine at the gym for aerobic
fitness and only recently started using the runner again (about 3 weeks
ago). Im slightly overweight, well probably more than slightly 6ft
male and 14 3/4 stone.

Any idea's what the problem with my knee's could be and how I make sure
it doesn't happen again ? Im hoping its muscle related and not some
mechanical problem with my joints.

Thanks for any advice

Steve

I had a Torn Meniscus and my knee would click. See a Doc.
