Default my right leg has problems!

Not trying to be funny but it seems to be the truth. This is the best example I can show you guys, how my legs look when im laying down or standing:

|/

if that doesn't make any sense to you, what I'm saying is my left leg seems fine and always looks and feels correct when it's relaxed. but my right leg is always pointing at an angle toward to right. Basically I can't point the leg forward, only when i try to but naturally it angles to the right on it's own. Does anyone know what my problem is and how I can help myself?

Since no-one has answered i'll have a go.

Sounds like weak adductors on your right leg. With a rubber band tie one end to your right foot and the fix the other end. pull your right leg away from the strap. You should feel it pulling groan muscles on right leg.

Foam roll or medicine ball roll the lateral side of your leg. Which might help loosen the abductors.

Sounds like a vareity of dysfunctions...let's see which one jumps out at you:
1.) Weak adductor on right leg
2.) Tight IT band, TFL on right side
3.) Weak glute medius on right side
4.) Tight piriformis on right side
5.) Elevated scapula on right side
6.) Tight lateral hamstring/semitendinosus on right side
7.) Weak pelvic floor muscles
8.) Poor neurologic control
9.) Weak core
10.) Altered motor pattern

Take your pick! Talk to someone and pinpoint which one of these dysfcuntions (can be a combination of a bunch!) can be rectified!
