I am 21 and started running everyday again. my left knee started hurting and stopped. now my right knee is slightly swollen and can barely walk. why?

Knee pain : Too much , too quickly . Pain is the bodies way of asking for a time out , So .. You need to rest totally for a few weeks , when you resume start slowly and progress by increasing time spent by only 10 % per week
