The ligaments below my left knee started to hurt pretty badly about 13-14 hours after I finished my last exercise (interval walking/running on treadmill - 20min running/40 minute walking interspersed).

Is it common to have such a delayed reaction to exercise or might there be some other cause?

    suggest getting it checked out
    soreness is common but not pain ..

    I used to have left knee issues, but those were resolved when i visited the running store , after video gait analysis got a pair of shoes and touch wood have been pain free since


    hope you get better answers ...
    all the best and get well soon

    Pain can happen if you've overstressed the ligaments and tendons. Was your exercise a new one for you? Or a new level of intensity and time? For example I recently jumped from 10km runs to a 16km run and my knees were sore for two days. It would have been smarter for me to increase the distance more gradually.
