What Causes Stiffness In Left Leg?

This is regarding my husband. Who refuses to go see a doctor.. His left leg he claims is stiff. He walks with a sort of drag. I have also noticed he always seems to be bending his left arm with his hand just hanging there. He laughs off my worries, and says nothing is bothering him. He says he just needs to stretch more. Is it something he should get checked out. He is 39 and it s been going on at least one year Thanks, Aimee
