Around 6mths after my surgery I noticed my torso leaned over slightly but my surgeon didn't seem concerned. I had a CT scan which revealed-his words 'a very slight leg discrepancy' not significant enough to do anything about. As time went by (I'm now 20 mths post op) I noticed that it was uncomfortable to stand with both legs straight-I would drop my one leg to feel 'even' I also get some low back pain.
I saw a physio 3wks ago and straight away she noticed that my hips were uneven-she said I have a significant leg discrepancy and it would be causing me a lot of discomfort. Shes made a makeshift heel raise for me to try and I immediately felt more even and able to stand with both legs straight, it also feels better when I'm walking. She wants me to get used to it and she reckons it needs raising slightly more.
My surgeon isn't very interested in this and just said to do whatever I feel comfortable with but I'm afraid to have it raised more I case it's too much. Did anyone here develop a leg discrepancy after surgery?
