Hi,
Temporary knee pain can occur to all of us especially at this age. As you rightly said, being overweight could be a factor.
But I think its more likely you've overdone walking especially uphill or gone on treadmill with an incline etc which has precipitated the problem. I would advise you to foment for 10 minutes with ice, followed by 10 minutes heat, followed by a gentle rub with a pain ointment like bengay, and then wear a knee cap. Do this twice a day for a week. If there is no relief, I think you should get the knees x-rayed and consult an Orthopedician.
Please do not worry, I think you''ll be fine. You can revert back to me with further queries and feedback.
