Shattered my right femur about 7 years ago and always suffered with back pain since but never linked it together untill now.
I'm running a lot lately to get on the weight, almost there but now getting really bad pain on the left side of my lower back. Looking in the mirror my right hip looks lower too.
I've got a appointment in two weeks to see my GP, but I would like to know if there's someone else that can help? I just want it measured so I can get wedges.
Any advise guys? Not ran for a week now and I can't take it no more. Need to go running lol

My middle leg is quite a lot shorter than the other two. :embarrassed:
-
My right leg is shorter.
It caused a herniated disc about a year ago which left me pretty much immobile for a month.
I went to a private osteopath because the NHS process was taking way too long... Physio, MRI, xray.
I felt so much better even after one session and they gave me a heel lift for my right foot.
I still need to go back occasionally, but it's worth it.

Cheers man. I've had to take couple of days off work and I'm just resting at the mo
Did it cost you much?
-
It's usually £40 a go and you'll need to go once a week for about a month and then just as and when you need it.
Some osteo places are £20 a session, but do your research first. The first one I went to was a holistic chiropractor and they barely touched me. The osteopath beat the crap out of me and I felt the effects immediately.
Sports injury specialists are where you'll probably get the best treatment.

Do you walk in circles unintentionally?

Really, my middle leg is actually much longer. Isn't everyones?

When I was young I had a problem with my hip, where it was tilted to one side. This caused my right leg to be about 1.5cm shorter than my left leg. In the long run it would have caused me back problems. I did it all through my private healthcare in Spain as they actually diagnose you over there, and I was made to use a heel lift on all my footwear indefinitely. After a few years the hip started straightening out and my right leg started to match the left. It's been maybe 5 or 6 years now since I've worn the insole, my legs are now even and I have no back pain on a daily basis.
You say you shattered your femur. My uncle did exactly the same on a motocross accident, result? Shorter right leg. He has an extra sole about 1cm tall glued in every single right shoe he owns, and will have to use it for the rest of his life, otherwise he faces the same, back problems and a massive pimp walk.

yeah that's what I will have to do. Just need to know how much shorter it is
-
Go to the GP, he/she should recommend you to a hospital, where they will/should xray your legs, hips and lower back, then see where the problem is.

booked a appointment two weeks away :angry:
luckily the 400mg ibuprofen are doing a good job
