You must consult with an orthopedic surgeon. You may have a problem with your knee or hip joint that would require surgery. You will need to have some radiologic studies done to help evaluate your leg. Good luck.

yes, there sure is. Though the surgery is usually only done for severe cases. There are other options as well, other than surgery, that your doctor can explain.
