Maybe you need to rest them for while before running again, take a hot bath and some pain reliever. If it happens too frequently, it could be that your knees are being worn away or that you have 'extra bones' (which really are benign tumors) rubbing each other and you should see your doctor.

stretching such as "flamingos" will help and also ice bags or even more effective is an ice tub/bucket (7-10 min) if you have access. Just some bags of frozen fruit or vegetables are always good to use(15-20 min and switch bags when they thaw out). Also self massage on the legs and around the knee does wonders. Eating within an hour after the activity will help with the recovery. Eating within 15-30 minutes after will give you an even faster recovery.
Get well soon.

So many possible things. First, if you are flat footed, that is almost definately the problem. You wil need shoes with good arch support.
If your shoes aren't good, or if they aren't running shoes, you might have achy knees. The solution is to... get better ones!
If you slam your feet hard on the ground when you run, that will make your shins and knees hurt. You really should barely hear your feet touching the ground. Run very lightly. And try to run on your toes rather than heels

I had discomfort too and with ease placed, it would be a quantity of motives. I went to my essential care health care provider who's an avid runner and he checked my ft for arch constitution. He advocated to shop for well walking footwear and talk to the shop approximately arch aid. Next, while you run, stretch plenty each earlier than and after (above all your quadriceps and hamstrings). Also, do not run daily, take a couple of days off and while you begin, take Advil (ibuprofen) earlier than and after to prevent discomfort and swelling. Give it a while and quickly you must be in a position to run and not using a or minimum discomfort. If the discomfort does now not get greater with some of these steps taken, mostly keep in mind searching for an orthopedic health practitioner for extra assessment of your knee joints - and potentially keep in mind energy strolling or an additional much less worrying influence endeavor - as a few men and women are simply now not constructed to run.

bad shoes....i would suggest you invest in a good pair of running shoes. While they might be expensive, your knees will feel much better

Make sure you have good shoes that aren't too old or run-down, stretch BEFORE AND AFTER running. Use ice after runs. Rest.

Sounds to me you are low on calcium & minerals. Get a good calcium & mineral supplement to take every day. If that does not help you, then you need to see your doctor and he will be able to help you from there. Good Luck.
