Can you describe what the “hurt” ferns like? If you’re newer to it, it could be a bit of DOMS from your muscles being worked more than they’re used to. Another possibility is that you’re stepping onto the stairs pretty hard on your heels which can cause knee pain

That explains why. Your body is still adapting

Okay so general achiness then? Sounds like it might be that you’re stepping hard on your heels. The next time you go on a stair master try paying more attention to how you’re stepping and try to impact the ground with a flat foot or alternatively only step up with the front part of your feet so that the back are hanging off the edge of the stairs
