16 month old cant walk yet and cannot straighten right leg

My daughter is 16 months this month & still isn't walking (we wasnt really concerned) until we noticed when she stands she would never bare any weight on her right leg and it will not straighten upon a closer look we noticed the knee was really swollen (no injury that we know off) took her to hospital she had blood tests xrays etc nothing shown up other than inflamation levels was high. She is now under a specialist but her appointments are every 6 weeks and it still isn't getting any better and the swelling has not gone down. Just wondering has anyone ever experienced a similar thing? It's so heartbreaking watching her as she is hitting all her other milestones perfectly just feels like whatever this issue is its preventing her from learning to walk. Thankyou

Hi! I know it’s been a while but my daughter has the same as you’ve described. What was the issue? Would you mind sharing?
