Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
It seems you have over strained your knees with increased work out.
-Take reas for few days.
-take over the counter NSAID .
- light massage with relaxil ointment
-physiotherapy /light knee exercises .. after pain stops.
-Consult orthopedic surgeon if no relief/problem increases.
Thanks
