Go back to your GP and tell him/her, and ask, demand even, for an x-ray!

Hi @Lesliehill
Thank you for posting on our Online Community, we are sorry to hear that you cannot bend your leg and you are in a lot of pain with it, it must be really difficult for you.
Often Osteoarthritis (OA) can be caused by an accident or a fall and as @swimmer60 has said going back to your GP and possibly having a physical examination an X-ray or a MRI scan can confirm if it a form of arthritis that you have so that you are able to manage the condition in the future.
Also, a referral to see a physiotherapist could help as well, they would be able to assess what range of movement you have in your leg and exercises that could help.
Hope everything goes well for you in the future.
Best wishes
Chris (Helpline Advisor)
