I've had instructors suggest a folded over blanket under the heel of your hand or foam wedge like this http://www.amazon.com/Hugger-Mugger-Foam-Yoga-Wedge/dp/B000C9KSQU/ref=sr_1_1?s=exercise-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1426511888&sr=1-1&keywords=yoga+wrist+support under the heel of my hand to help decrease the amount your wrists bend in some poses. Have you tried anything similar?
Wrist pain in downward dog and tabletop may slowly dissipate as you build strength. See if propping up on your fists helps, or you may invest in a wedge. I bought a Manduka Pro mat, which is quite thick yet firm, which got rid of my wrist problems almost completely. For knee pain, my advice--coming from a person without medical issues, just weakness, as far as I know--is to build up muscles in your legs. In Utkatasana, work on firming your thighs together, and in warrior poses, work on firming your straight leg, outside edge of your foot really pressing into the floor. Maybe work on gently stretching your knees in supported Virasana, using as many blocks as you need, before trying low squats.
