Have you checked the length of your legs?

Sounds like twisted pelvis to me, although hard to be sure!

I've had many of days like that where I walk like I'm 90 it was just extreme muscle spasms. It sounds to me like you might need some bed rest and some muscle relaxors and anti-inflammatories!!! No leg pain is a definite plus

Frequently when my back is bad, I too can't stand up straight. Have you had tests run?

If this persists, I would suggest you go to your regular GP and maybe investigate it's cause. Could be just muscles not behaving or something more involved, like your spine.

In the meantime, ibuprofen might help as an anti-inflammatory, along with hot shower and heating pad may help bring you some relief.
