Joint pain?
You have many problems which you have outlined. You need to be evaluated by a musculoskeletal specialist such as an orthopedic surgeon, rheumatologist or physical medicine specialist. To evaluate your knee radiographs and perhaps an MRI would be better. The other areas that you complained about should be examined by a specialist with appropriate diagnostic studies ordered.

What happens if tennis elbow is left untreated?
Nothing bad. Tennis elbow usually causes pain on the outside of the elbow. The severity can vary. Treatment can improve it but if you can tolerate the pain you can choose not to have any type of treatment. Sometimes it just burns itself out where the symptoms just resolve overtime without any specific treatment. READ MORE
Sore armpits?
I am not certain what you need to know. If your symptoms are significant you may need to be evaluated by your family doctor or a sports medicine specialist or orthopedic surgeon to determine possible cause for your symptoms and then they can suggest treatment options. READ MORE
Torn or pulled ankle?
Crutches and the boot are the proper first step if x-rays were negative. But if the pain does not rapidly subside, you need to be evaluated by a specialist such as orthopedic surgeon, Physiatrist or podiatrist to determine if they feel that the injury is serious. A careful examination is necessary. If examination is not conclusive you may require MRI study. READ MORE
What can an orthopedic doctor do for knee pain?
Lots of things. First they can examine you and perhaps obtain x-rays and try to determine what the source of your knee pain is. They can provide treatment by prescribing appropriate medication, prescribing physical therapy and if necessary obtain MRI study. They will then be able to inform you if your condition may require surgery. READ MORE

Achilles tendon pain and snapping?
The main concern is pain. If you have continued pain with activities, you need to be evaluated by a specialist and consider obtaining MRI study or ultrasound study to further evaluate the tendon. The snapping if it is not painful should not be of concern. Many times there are snapping or popping or clicking but we cannot find the source and sometimes you can spend a lot of money doing multiple tests without results. But if the snapping itself causes pain then a detailed examination by a specialist as well as MRI study will be helpful. READ MORE
How do you get rid of a ganglion cyst on your foot?

How long does it take for a tendon to heal after surgery?
There are multiple tendons in the body so your question needs to be more specific. It is a partial or complete tear?
