What Causes Burning Sensation In The Feet And Knee Pain?

My feet (especially when I am lying down) feel like they are burning. It is a very severe pain in my ankle that shoots up to my knees, sometimes into my thighs. Walking is painful. I cannot stand in church during worship, stand in the shower and can hardly make it up and down steps without feeling like my feet are going to give out and I would collapse. What do I do, because I have been dealing with this for over a year (it began as a tearing feeling in the arches of my feet and progressed to the entire lower leg/ankle/foot) and it is becoming a problem at work and even with my lifestyle and daily activities. What could it be?
