hi. ive been running/lifting for 6 weeks now. But recently my right knee started hurting as i run on the treadmill. I run/lift 5 days a week. This is kind of worrying me cuz i dont want this knee to get serious or anything. Any suggestions/solutions and explanations to this pain? Thank you all in advance.

Hi! I unfortunately have the same problem as you with my knee; it starts hurting as soon as I start to run. I went to the doctor and he said that my knee joints are loose and the tissue in my knees are worn too. He also said that I must never run again....instead swim or something which doesn't put pressue on your knees, or else I may not be able to even walk. So I would also advise you to see a doctor and get your knee checked out; It may not be as serious as with me, but you should make sure because it's better to be safe than sorry. Good luck!
