The answer is it depends on the root cause of the pain. pain is a symptom that results from a cause. the cause has to be treated in order for pain to go away. I recommend that you see an orthopedic doctor asap to address your concern.
You go to a specialist and you have the problem evaluated properly by a medical professional.
This needs to be worked up. I recommend you make an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon and or foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) to evaluate the knee and ankle respectively
See an orthopedist for the knee and podiatrist for the ankle.
There are potentially multiple causes for this. Taking Tylenol may simply not be strong enough to control your pain. Consult with a Board Certified Podiatric Surgeon, or if you have already done so then seek out a second opinion.
