What Causes Joint Pain In The Ankles And Knees?
I have joint pain mainly in my ankles but some in my knees and when I open my groin out to stretch. It has recently started to hurt even when I walk, I played football well into my 40 s and am 52 now. The pain seems to be in the same place on both feet and is very debilitating?

I have gone through your query. It may be due to osteoarthritis.
For further assessment you may require X Ray of that affected joints after orthopedician consultation.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
You may require calcium tablet and vit d after detailed evaluation.
Use support while walking.
Avoid forward bending and squatting position.
