Hello,
Foot pain can come from many causes so seeing a podiatrist is a good idea. If it is a burning pain then it could be from neuropathy (nerve inflammation). If it is aching in the joints it could be from arthritis. It could also be a tendon issue or plantar fasciitis. The knee pain as well could be from tendon, muscle or joint problem. See your doctor for a knee exam after you see the podiatrist.
Regards
