What Could Be The Cause Of Intense Leg Pain?
I cannot lift my right leg very far when trying to dress. I get apain in my hip and my leg will just not do what I want it to. I only have the pain when I need to raise my leg to either dress and pu stockings on. I cannot reach to do this as my leg wont co-operate.

going the simple way it might be just tight hamstring muscles countered by strong quadriceps( on your front thigh). go for hamstring stretching followed by strengthing.also you need to stretch other group of muscles.it would be better if you visit a physiotherapist.
now going the other way round if self treatment dosent work and leads to more pain probably there's an underlying injury that a GP can diagnose OK only after assessment
