Hi Emily - my left leg is also the one that has been the most effected by the 
lesions I had in my spinal cord.

  My husband has a 1" lift inside of his shoe that was made especially for him 
due to the same problem..one leg shorter than the other.  The orthotic is 
removable so he can put it in whatever shoe he wears. The one that is shorter 
is the one that has been effected by the spinal cord injury.

  Janice, 

   

  I'm not sure if I wrote about it, but when I started another round of 
physical therapy several months ago, the therapist found that my left leg was 
one inch shorter than the right.  And that really doesn't surprise me when I 
think about "walking/wobbling" with a cane for years.  Our gait is slightly 
"off"  The therapist worked on me from top of my neck to my toes for almost 2 
hours, which didn't feel very good, but did I ever feel like a new person when 
she was done and I stood up!!

   

  Good luck, hope it all goes well and you find the relief you're looking for.

    Dear Friends,

     

    Some months ago, one of you wrote in asking if anyone had a problem with 
maybe 1 leg being shorter than the other since having TM.    At the time, I had 
not heard

    of that being a possibility.       I now know what whoever was talking 
about.    My legs are still the same length and my spine is straight, but I am 
walking now as though

    one leg is slightly longer than the other.     It is caused by the myelitis 
and they tell me with therapy, they can fix it  -  I hope.            So, to 
whoever wrote in asking about

    that, I hope they got help for it.    Something happens in the upper back 
hip area.     Anyway, I am working on fixing this and hope no one else has this 
problem.  

     

    Janice
