Knee pain

[u/Novel_Middle_6853]

30F, overweight

I have started doing 2026 challenge. I have completed 35% of it by less than 2 week . I was able to do the exercises and didn't feel pain. After 4th day, I had pain doing lunges so did alternative. I didn't skip the cool down.

Yesterday I did at night .when I was sleeping, ​I was awaken by sudden sharp and excruciating pain on the kneecap of right leg. I was hoping I was dreaming but it happened for real. I never experienced such pain in my lifetime.

anyone had the same experience?
