Really need help with my leg, something isnt right but i dont know what.

Over the past 3 months or so I've been regularly exercising to try and get myself in good physical form so i can start to get to work or live something of a life and i am making zero progress in eliminating the main problem i had when i started it seems as though there is a muscle/tendon/ligament (sorry I'm not familiar with anatomy) that runs from my hip to my knee on the front of my right upper leg that seems too short. If i lay on my back and raise my torso off the floor with my left leg i am able to do so easily everything works as it should my hip stays in place and i get full movement in the joint at the top of my leg, on the other leg so my right leg when i try to do this if i keep my hip in place i barely have any range of movement as this short muscle/tendon/ligament prevents me lifting my backside off the ground i get like 1/3 of the way if that. Can anyone give any kind of advice as to what may be causing this, i have at a point in my life had my leg in traction in hospital so permanently raised whilst I'm layed on a bed I've heard this can cause shortening of ligaments but this doesn't mean anything to me to be honest, if this is the case is it repairable?

I would greatly appreciate any input.

Thanks.
