Cramp in knee

2017-12-08 12:58:56
I am a 23 year old man and have just started running on the treadmill and within 2 minutes, I start feeling some pain in the shin area. Later on, there is some slight pinching feel on the right knee. Should I still continue running, and what preventive measures should I take so that it doesn't become a serious issue later on. I have also switched to incline walking for the last few days, but I really want to run.

Before running, you to prepare your knee for running. You have to strengthen your leg muscles so that they can bear your weight effectively while running. Otherwise you will land up with knee problems.
