What's the best and quickest way to heal my feet?

Ive hurt my knees. how can I heal them, whats the best way to train.?

• I've never had problems with my knees before but...I had a long break from training, I did some leg squats, not excessive weight, for the next few weeks my knee joints really hurt, I rested until they where better and gave up the squatting idea!! a month or so later i went running (i did push it a bit and ive since realised i need better footwear) and again for the next week or two the joints hurt I rested them untill they were better. My problem is this Im going mountaineering in five months time and i need to be in good walking condition. I recently hiked for about 3 hours over varying terrain and although i had no major trouble i could definatly feel my knees when i was going down hill. Is my knee pain something i can overcome? or have i messed them up to the point where i shouldnt be going to the mountains, whats the best way to train for extened periods of walking? can my knee pain be overcome by training? thanks sorry about the spelling!!!
