What Could Cause Abnormal Gait, Tightening Of Muscles And Painful Hips Months After A Fall?

yeah, so I fell in January and thought nothing more about it, until I decided to start walking again. Walking a fifteen minute mile has always been effortless, up till now. I notice my calf tightening and I feel I have to pay attention to my right leg..almost like I had a tia. I don't think I did, but I feel I am shoving my foot forward, instead of going off the ball. Then I thought to rise up on tiptoe, and wow, I can't on my right foot. It's like my foot grabs hold of the ground and says I'm going nowhere. No pain, been getting hips adjusted(she noticed they were out after the fall, and it seems to help some. Only gone twice, tho. Scary...

Hi. This is definitely serious and needs to be checked immediately by an Orthopedic surgeon. Do not try anything at home.
