I have pain in my knees that shoot down to my legs and it's very painful my thighs, legs \u0026 ankles are very swollen, i don't know what it is?

May be polyarthritis: The swelling of the ankles is not as specific as swelling of the joints. the amount of pain you're having needs to be clarified with the swelling. You'll need an evaluation by a rheumatologist to clarify this clinical picture
