r/LegLengthDiscrepancy

Does anyone talk about how 85% of the LLD is functional and not a structural difference in bone length? Each person favors their right side because of organ discrepancies within us. The diaphragm pulls uneven and the left pelvis points right, the right pelvis crunches in, and then the right femur gets stuck jutted forward. Thus, the distance from the right hip to the ground is shorter because the right leg is stuck at a forward angle, to compensate for a twisted pelvis.

I've been trying to fix it myself, with the internet AI and a bit of Connor Harris youtube, but it is such a lonely endeavor I just found and called a Posture Restoration certified practiction today and talked to her. It is best case scenario, already retired, within an hour drive, low patient case load but dedicated to each patient for the reward of helping people so.... I should be more excited but am still scared of how much life I have lost while in LLD.

I went to see an orthopedic specialist a few weeks ago who gave me an order for a CT scan, which revealed a 17 mm or .6 inch difference in length, my left leg being longer.

i’ve had this condition since I was a kid, not injury related, but never dealt with it. I’m turning 30 this year and trying to get ahead of any knee or back pain that seems inevitable.

my doctor canceled my follow up appointment and will be unavailable for the next 2 months. I’m looking for advice on if I should just start wearing a lift in my shoe and/or get my shoe cobbled with that .6 inch lift.

for those of you who got a CT scan, what was the process after the diagnosis that determined what you did next? is the likely case that my doctor will just advise me to put a lift in my shoe?
