Could Severe Pain In Legs Be Due To Arthritis?

A few months ago, I could barely lift my leg to put my socks and shoes on (left leg only) Then, about a week ago, my left started hurting when i put weight on it (such as walking).... I m assuming it s probably arthritis, I m 57. But, I don t really know what to think or if I should look into it further.. or just wait it out??
