But they tell me that there is not a difference in the leg length, the problem
is in the hip area and needs stretching out. Maybe that is the same thing,
don’t know. Have any
of you with this problem had therapy that took care of the problem?

Hi Janice,
I may have written about that. My left leg is 1 inch longer than the
right. While in rehab learning to walk again,I was very unsteady.
Unfortunately,I "locked" my left knee,which stretched the tendon,making the leg
lengthen. None of the P.T. staff realized what I was doing.
Now my gait is off because of the difference in the length of my legs.

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
