Severe pain gives rise to limping as a person cannot take weight on a painful limb.... Severe knee pain could be because of many reasons.... Osteoarthritis,ligament injury, bursitis, meniscus injury.... If it is a sudden kind of pain... It could be some injury without any external trauma... Which we call as degenerative tear.... Visit an orthopaedic consultant near your area at the earliest...

knee pain associated with limping can occur by several causes commonly acute flare up osteoarthritis,knee sprain, gout in old age people.
you need to consult senior physiotherapist specialized in orthopedics or orthopedic surgeon not general physician.
solution lies in evaluation of knee with an xray and some blood tests if required.
may require knee support and some pain medication.
dont delay ..consult nearby physiotherapist.
