Severe Leg Pain, Difficulty In Standing And Taking Weight. What Is The Cure?

I was having severe leg pain from my knee to hip and groin area. I do need knee replacement, but at first I thought I had a Charlie horse, but have never had one that high on my leg. To the point that I could not stand and put weight on my leg. I also got a little light headed.
