If there are any, if you could PM me, that would be awesome.

Generally speaking, yes it is possible to injure one leg as a result of compensating for an injury to the other leg. In fact, an injury to your leg can mess up the whole kinetic chain (including hip, back, etc). Not sure what the specifics are in your case though.
PS I'm not a doctor, let alone an orthopaedic specialist.
