I would think that the treadmill is actually easier on your knees. Maybe, you've jumped back into more miles than your body is ready for. I would ease back a little and take some form of anti-inflammatory to give yourself a little relief.
I get the same thing until I adjust to it. I think it's from my legs coming down on a moving surface.
Make sure to wear flexible shoes on the treadmill. The surface is unvaryingly even which means that you will tend to strike your feet (and the rest of your body on up) in a narrower range of motion than you do on the roads or trails. Stiff shoes even increase this. So get a pair with good cushioning and good flexibility. I bet that will help the knee.
No scholarship limits anymore! (NCAA Track and Field inequality is going to get way worse, right?)
