What Causes Severe Pain On The Knees?

i have severe pain in both knees, they feel like they are on fire. I can barely walk, if i sit for long periods of time, which i do for work, from my knees down to my toes go numb. I have had a mri, i have had x-rays, and even had a ultra sound. Seems like the drs. cannot find anything. What could be happening to me?
