An awkward limp..?!
Question: An awkward limp!.!.!?
Ok, I've met a girl at my university who has a problem!. One leg is a bit shorter than the other!. I'm wondering how people correct this without that painful surgery!. A shoe with a heel larger than the other maybe!?
Heres the thing, I want to help!. People have no sympathy for others anymore!. She catches hell almost every day, the awkward looks and even more awkward names!. How could I find out how much longer one limb is than the other without asking!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
The next time someone says something mean, ask her if her family or she ever looked into it!. Suggest that even if she reached her full height there are things that can be done!.
She ought to be evaluated by an orthopedist who would measure difference, etc!. Then she can be referred to professional who makes orthotics that she can put in shoe!.
She will feel "off sided" at 1st!. Then she can go to Physical Therapy to strengthen muscles in legs, hips & back!.
She's lucky to have you as a friend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well to begin with a shorter leg doesn't have to be a problem!. She could go get x-rays and then a small lift can be made for that leg!. A small lift can be slipped into her shoe or if its more than just a small amount she could have special shoes made!. She should have it taken care of because it can lead to problems with her joints in her leg and hip or even her back!. Eventually she will have to handle the problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
