Welcome to EmpowHER. Treadmills are a great cardiovascular workout. But, knee pain is a common symptom associated with overuse of treadmill walking and running. You might want to stop the use of the treadmill and see your doctor to have imaging test done. It’s important to know what is really causing the discomfort in the knee, before you continue any time of exercise. Your doctor might suggest giving it sometime before going back to the gym and working out or doing other type of exercise that is less stressful for the knee. Hope this was helpful?
