Does my knee problems, have to do with my ankle being very painful?

Yes, it is possible!: Knee problems will make you walk differently & cause pain in other joints &/or muscles. The question to ask is: what's causing your knee pain? If your knees aren't too damaged from arthritic changes then a thorough biomechanical evaluation by a podiatrist/chiropractor or physical therapist can find any weakness or imbalance & treat the underlying cause. Rx. Foot orthotics might be necessary.

Likely: Compensation from bad feet or ankle problems often show up in upper joints like the hip or knee.
