My knees have been sore for about 2 weeks since i took a spinning class. long distance driving and squats cause intense pain on my knees. are my knees permanently damaged?

Not permanent: This is probably due to improper positioning on the bike or pushing yourself inappropriately. Injuries not likely to be permanent and should resolve with rest and conservative treatment.
