I've been getting right knee pain during leg workouts - esp lunges and during/after time on a treadmill. advil or aleve (naproxen)? ice or heat? suggestions

Why do you have pain: The real question is why do you have pain, especially if it is recurrent. Ice is always the best choice for musculoskeletal problems. A short course of an advil (ibuprofen) like medication may be ok. If this does not resolve with rest and simple measures you should have an orthpedic surgeon or sports medicine md examine you.
