Need to be checked: You are 45 and never consulted a doctor to find out what was and is the cause of your limp.You need to be evaluated by an orthopedic specialist ti find out your limping and not able to lift left leg.You need a thorough history as to when your symptoms started ie from birth or after an illness or injury, and thourough exam including neuro exam and imaging like xrays, MRI or cat scan to find the cause.
