Hello!
According to your history- you need to check certain things-
1. Check whether your shoes worn out.
2. Check any changes you made in treadmill workout like inclination, speed and duration of workout.
3.Check the tension in the belt system of the treadmill.
Generally after the work out apply ice wrapped in a wet towel on both knees for 10 min. Do knee warmup exercises before doing treadmill and post exercises do stretching to quads, hams and calf. Consult ortho Physical therapist for knee rehab and strengthening program.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Regards
