Could my knee and ankle joint pain be caused by my lumbar spinal stenosis?

Possibly: This is one of those problems where a visit to your doctor is necessary to figure out what's going on. Only after a thorough evaluation, including examination and possibly labs and other tests, can your doctor correctly diagnose you and treat you effectively.

Yes: The nerves from the back can definitely create knee and ankle pain.
