My knees swell and now my ankles on both sides are swelling and i can't walk too well. what could be the problem?

See rheumatology: the joints of the knees and ankles may be swelling because of an underlying systemic disease. If there is a family history of arthritis, or even if there isn't talk with your primary care physician and/or consider a consultation with a rheumatologist.
