hi
this pain is due to overweight on the weight bearing joints.please stop your vigorous exercise untill the pain is reduced
you can go for simple knee relaxing exercises, wear a knee cap , & take painkillers to relieve the pain
if the pain still persists please visit an orthopaedician for the treatment.
please check out for your thyroid & calcium levels.
all the best, take care
