What Causes Pain In Right Leg And Hip?

I have severe pain in my right leg and hip. I can barely walk. I ve been limping so much that know my right knee clicks or so it seems. I am a CNA and I have had pain for about a year, thought it came with the job but has gotten so bad I can barely do daily activity. Even sitting hurts and I get sharp pains in my schin. I am seeing a doctor in a week. Thoughts? Thank you.

Hi there
it would help to know how old you are and what sport activities you have been involved In the past.
From what you have said it sounds like osteoarthritis. This is aging of joint cushions which causes pain. your doctor will examine you and send you for some xrays and will tell you what the problem is.
I find this answer helpful
