Compensation : Your symptoms are typical of compensation pain. Your right lower extremity is taking on most of the work, as your left side is unable to. 
Recommend therapy to strengthen the left side, and a clinical evaluation to determine why your right knee hurts. You may need an XRay or an MRI of your right knee. 
Please get an orthopedic consult ASAP. 
All the best.
