Answers:
During a game of golf, he suffered an infarction in his right leg, which went misdiagnosed for three days due to doctors' concerns that he was exhibiting drug-seeking behavior (House eventually diagnosed the infarction himself)!. An aneurysm in his thigh had clotted, leading to an infarction and causing his quadriceps muscle to become necrotic!. House had the dead muscle bypassed in order to restore circulation to the remainder of his leg, risking organ failure and cardiac arrest!. He was willing to endure excruciating post-operative pain to retain the use of his leg!. After House was put into a chemically induced coma to sleep through the worst of the pain, Stacy, House's medical proxy, acted against his wishes and authorized a safer surgical middle-ground procedure between amputation and a bypass by removing just the dead muscle!. This resulted in the partial loss of use in his leg, and left House with a lesser, but still serious, level of pain for the rest of his life!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
House was never shot in the leg!. He was shot in the neck at the end of season 2, but by then Stacy had married another man!.
House did have an infarction while golfing, which wasn't diagnosed until the muscle had become necrotic!. The doctors wanted to amputate his leg, but he refused to let them!. He was placed in a medically induced coma to control the pain, and Stacy agreed to have the dead muscle removed, which saved his leg but left him in constant pain!.
This happened before the show and was shown in flashbacks in the first season episode "Three Stories"!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

it was showed in flashbacks and discussed!. he wanted his leg left alone so it had a chance to grow back!. once he did what he did all the bacteria from the infarction flowed into his leg!. he decided to get put into a medicine induced coma and while that happened cuddy told stacy that since house blatantly refused to ever get an amputation that they could to a procedure kind of in the middle which is taking the leg muscle out of his leg!. they did this and he had a 50% chance of it working but it didn't so now he's in chronic pain for the rest of his life and also subsequently addicted to vicodin!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
