My mom cut off my black toenail but I’m worry that something might happen to it
I have one longer than the othe
Hello, I hope you can answer a question I have about heel lifts. I'm 74 and have had moderate to severe chronic pain in every muscle and joint for many years. It's getting worse. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, arthritis, bowed legs, poor posture, poor diet, lack of exercise, laziness, and old age. They've recommended orthotics, braces, physio, rehab, yoga, vitamins, special diets and even hip and knee replacements.
When I look in the mirror I can plainly see that my left hip is higher than the right and it sticks way out to the side. I want to try something before considering other treatments that can be very expensive and might not work. Would you recommend a heel lift in one shoe to gradually level out my hips? If so, which shoe, left or right? With all the videos I've watched I haven't found the answer. There are videos on heel lifts for leg length discrepancy but no mention of hip misalignment or even which foot needs lifting. I'd appreciate your advice.
I don't see any recommendation for shoe buildups. Where would you go for that? Bc I already had one pair of shoes ruined. Also, if you have to pay for a surgery such as the one you described, how much would that roughly be if your insurance didn't cover it?
Hi Doc, can you please make a video for those with true LLD?
Thank you for being so thorough
We appreciate you watching!
If possible, we would appreciate a quick rating (hopefully good), as it makes a HUGE difference!

This video actually helped me alot❤❤. I am thirteen years old. I have leg length discrepancy in my left leg since I was born. I don't have a kneecap on my left leg and my leg was twisted from the knee when I was born because without the knee cap the leg from the knee has a very much chance of dislocating, that was fixed. So now before 1 year I had a surgery and I grew 7cm on my leg it still didn't help me. I am in my growing age and now again my left leg has a 2cm difference from the right leg. Now I started following your Videos and It is helping me a lot❤❤
Have had a couple of leg injuries but I’m going to try the massages you recommended! Thank you!
We appreciate you watching! 😊❤🙏

Great video thank you! I was diagnosed with one leg longer than the other at a young age.
I recently started getting knee pain in both knees but significantly more in my longer leg. My dad has flat feet. I suspect I do as well which has been aggravated by my LLD on one side and only just noticed that my knees buckle inward. Going to try these tips until I get to see a specialist. Thanks again for the helpful video!
What place would you refer to for shoe buildups?
Good video. I have one leg 1.5 cm shorter than the other one because of a motorcycle accident. Good information to begin trying to sort out some of my issues. Thank you.
do you limp when you walk bare foot?
@@sagar9060 yes
@@davemeise2192 how old are you? When did the accident happen? Is the shortening in femur or tibia? Did you check the length via scans? What did the doctors say? Please don't mind me asking. Thank you.
ya ive measured my one leg being shorter at times but i think all the muscles are justt really tight from when i twisted it really bad and kept squating heavy with hardly any healing time. but my dad has a short leg and has had a heel lift since he was a kid
Hi I am from Algeria (64 years old) and my left leg is shorter than the right one and I feel big pain while walking and on the morning while waking up from the bed.i will follow your exercises.a ND see what will happen
Hi, my son (13yrs) has hypermobility. He overpronates severely. He has worn orthotics as he's grown however some have been better than others. Some are difficult to fit into a shoe. I see a lot of videos suggesting barefoot type shoes and wonder if it is something to aim for. Or at least trying to find a foot, ankle strengthening program. I was told yesterday that his one leg is shorter, possibly because of a tight hamstring, caused originally from his overpronation. I really want to help him strengthen his feet and lessen the risk of pain as he gets older. Any suggestions are welcome
yes injury... but theres also eye, jaw... and issues from shoes too early...
How can I make an appointment??? Do you do virtual??? Thank God I found this video
please am also having problem with my leg one is longer than the other which exercicise can i do
I got hemihypertrophy, atrophy, basically meaning one side of my body is longer the other side meaning mobility is a little harder.
I have one leg that is shorter 3 cm after I was in a coma after brain bleeding when I was 9 years old I was paralyzed in my left side and my left leg didn’t grow when my right leg did and so have uneven legs my right leg is 3 cm longer I am seeker in my left leg to after the paralyzed I can not move my foot much , my muscles on the back on the left thigh is more tight then the right side due to the paralysis and the weakness of the leg. It’s not big different on the thighs but my calves are a big different. I have to build up all my shoes and have a lot of problems like knee pain knee injury pain in my neck hips and so on because of the uneven legs and nerve damage in my left leg, get more cold in my left calve then my right.
Have it my right leg is longer then my left leg and have a uneven hips
you have unvean toungue posture
I have dealt with leg length discrepancy for 30 years. Back problems, neck problems. Constant pain. EVERYONE I saw told me it was muscular. Now at 49 years old I finally find out I actually have a leg length discrepancy. I seriously doubt I am in the 1%. You should really check that statistic
What about bow legs. I was bow leg when I was younger, but not I'm older one leg stay bow leg. Why did that happen?
Please make a video about flat feet caused by overpronation and how to treat it

I have this problem
My right tibia is 8mm shorter than my left. This was measured by a PA about 30 years ago - but I didn't do anything about it. Now in my mid-50s I am having some back pain when I cycle in excess of 2 hours. I bought an 8mm shim and I will see how that works out in relieving my back pain.
How it is worked
do you limp when you walk bare foot?
@@Xavierzzzzu still have the back pain, although now it sets in around the 3hr mark. More of a slow burn than a sharp type of pain.
@@sagar9060 surprising not, I believe that my body has learned to compensate for the discrepancy over the last 3 decades. I am sure that my hips look wonky from the back when I walk - but my gait is smooth.
@@hagakuru thank you mate but it took 7 months for response 😆😆
Hello doctor I 'm from Azerbaijan
I'm 16 years old one leg is 4 cm shorter than the other. What do you think? I don't have scoliosis. I have pain in my pelvis and knee.
Just learned about overpronation from this video and noticed that I do this with my right foot (I had a tibia and fibula fracture when I was thirteen, 23 years ago, maybe relevant?) do you have any videos addressing how to fix this overpronation?
I have inborn LLD around 3 cm; agenesia of PCL AND ACL on the same leg; and agenesia of 5th metatarsal: :) Any advice?
I fell down from my nanny's back when I was very little. This caused lots of pus to come out of my ears. This was treated. but as I got older, I had a nail injury at the centre of my foot while in boarding school. I limped a lot on the uninjured foot and this made me have an LLD. I have uneven pelvis, my eyes see things differently, my ribs are not aligned and my tummy is hard and swollen. what do I do?
May angels treat you miraculously
Hip dysplasia: surgery with plate and screws still intact. I hope this helps.
Please my baby girl are left lag is a bit longer than the right, and the right looks like bow. Please what can I do. Am really concerned
Can you please tell me if , when you build your shoe up if it should be the entire shoe or only the heal?
From personal experience, it depends on the discrepancy you’re compensating for. Possibly trial and error via an obliging cobbler
've been suffering from a dislocated left hip since birth. I underwent surgery at the age of 7, and it turned out that my left leg was 1.7 cm longer. Now I suffer from weakness and atrophy in the muscles of his left seat and thigh. I am embarrassed by the difference in muscle size. I am now 28 years old. I don't know the cause of atrophy. Please advise and guide me
do you limp when you walk bare foot?
I felt my other leg is longer after my hips arthroscopic surgery but ny Doctor( Orthopedic) didn't believe me
Hello,
What do you think it’s going on with me. I have been told I have right short leg. I go to chiropractors and they pull my leg. I then go to a PT and they say my leg have been aligned. I stay like this for about a month and it goes back to short leg. Is this still a limb length discrepancy?
would love to know!
Hello there
My 14 yo daughter's right leg is 2cm longer than the other one last year it's 1cm it also affects her growth
Hi, this is meant to be general advice, always get your child checked out for specific information!
For Leg Discrepancy diagnosis and solution, do I see a Sports Physiotherapist or Sports Physical therapist?
great question
Had hip replacement 8 months ago, it’s been confirmed as I’m left with anatomical longer leg of about 1.2cm. It’s really screwed up my lumbar spine. Not sure if I should be trying shoe lifts?? Thoughts please?
do you limp when you walk bare foot?
@@sagar9060 sure do.
I have one leg longer than the other, and I'm feeling a terrible pain on my shorter leg's knee.
What should I do?
Oh my gosh, doctors think I am crazy when I say this! For me, it is my taller leg's knee.
@@Byulicitasame. The doc gave me shoe lift to put under my shorter leg.
Yea and it caused me scoliosis 😠
Check out dr. Eric berg. He states shoe lifts make it worse.
I usually develop my inserts/insole at home with layers of cardboard box (thin ones), I should make a video about this 😂.
Wow awesome, I would love to see it ❤️😊🙏
I have NO Cartilage in my right hip so I walk un EVEN with my right leg feeling like with every step, I'm limping.
Would a shoe lift insert, help me...?
Hey doc may I ask you a question? Does leg length discrepancy classified as disability? And can I join the military or police I have a 2cm leg length discrepancy
From my prior experience I have basically filled out forms for a lawyer that can help with filing for it. I get a large packet and I fill out stuff you can do/can't do and attest to the pain/immobility. I don't think it is that straightforward of a process unless there is a clear genetic/developmental or traumatic incident that caused it in most cases. The people I see struggle are really chronic conditions that got worse over time with work.
But I'm not a lawyer and I don't do that as a job so take it with a grain of salt 🙂
do you limp when you walk bare foot?
@@sagar9060 a very slight limp
@@BejayBae oh okay. may I ask if your difference of 2cm. is confirmed via scans. And if so, are you able to proper squats? Do find any imbalance in any other daily activities?
My one foot is flat 😢
Does this condition afftect performance?? Because i do sprinting and i have it
??
It can for sure 😊
Do you feel tight on one side?
@@DrTomBiernacki no I don't feel tight on one side. It's that one of my knee is higher than the other
I had a surgery on my one leg for it being longer than the other was it nessecary? For to have a surgury?
It would depend on the exam and the type of surgery... ?
Have a merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and happy new year! 🙏😊
I hand plate in femur but my leg is short how to fix it ? 😭
do you limp when you walk bare foot?
Yes little bit
All though jr high and high school my mother made my clothes. Every pair of pants had to be measured separately because one leg is 1 centimeter shorter than the other. Update the 99% to 98 % of the people do have a shorter leg.
My one leg feel longer
I feel only I'm dealing with bad sciatica, my son having LLD, knock knees, we both having -4 power spectacles, but people are living much difficult life, doctors are angels, but sometimes they also can't do anything, God gives us punishment for our deeds, so our deformities play for lifetime...😢😢
Not God NATURE/GENETICS!
In real life a regular podiatrist is not looking at all these details!
Measuring etc…
I can only speak for myself, I do perform these myself.
Hey handsome, 😘
I don't think you are right. I have a longer leg 2 cm or more than the other , and I' m not a very rare exception. There are a lot of people tnat have it or maybe a little less.
All the videos now about this topic are rabbish!
I would love to go over a biomechanical evaluation with you and see if I would be able to help, but I know that is not always easy!
Personally I see people almost every single day tell me about this, but when we evaluate their biomechanics, it is always translational rotation through the hip, knee, ankle or foot joints. This can lead to a 2cm deficit for sure without a problem. We could also scan your bones and see if one is actually shorter. From personal experience and the experience of international practitioners, this seems to be the consensus of the experts around the world as well.
