The swollen ankles and knee for a diabetic patient with burning sensation indicate uncontrolled diabetes level. Associated condition of fluid retention with or without osteoarthritis has to be sorted out by basic lab tests, X-ray of the knee and clinical evaluation. Treatment consists of diabetes control and management of root cause
