    Default Went to the doctor....

    So I go to the doctor because I have been having this dull pain in the left side of my hip. The doc asks some questions and is checking out the range of motion in my leg and hip and then tells me that my left leg is slightly shorter than my right! Who knew! I have never had any problems with my hip until recently....this is so weird, I have never noticed this. Is their anyone else here with this problem? He told me that it is actually common in many people but if it does not pose a problem many people are unaware of it. So he gave me a script for anti-inflamitory (sp?), sent me for an xray to see if there are any other problems present, and told me to call him next week for the results. Until then I have to take it easy. Now my hubby is teasing me telling me that I need a stacked shoe for my left foot....he is such a dork! Anyway...thought I would share and see if any of you have a slight imperfection like this....if so does it effect you work, work out routine, or day to day activities?

    Thanks!

    I've always been told that one leg is longer than the other. I guess it just depends on the severity. Sometimes my left would get significantly longer than the right because my back was out of alignment. I just would go to a chiropractor and get an adjustment. After that no pain!
    Best of luck with your pains.

    My new nick name is gimp!!

    My mom actually suggested that I see a chiropractor....years ago she found out she needed several adjustments because her pelvic bone was out of alignment by an inch!! Crazy....the doc said it was because of having four large babies. She said it did wonders for her pain. I think I am going to ask my doctor about seeing a chiropractor, maybe it will help.
