significant leg length discrepancy

[Guest guest]

I had my surgery May 17. The first day that I was able to walk, I noticed that

when my operated left leg was straight, my other heel could not touch the floor.

I was crushed--so disappointed that this happened to me. It is difficult to walk

and very tiring, not to mention that my back feels out of whack. Three days

later I was transfered to a rehab hospital where they measured me for a one-inch

lift to be cut into the entire (toe to heel) sole of each pair of shoes I want

to wear from now on. My doc didn't tell me until the day of surgery that he was

going out of the country the next day and he will be back next week. I will

write him and call him next week. I am very distressed by this. I have looked up

and found that this discrepancy can be surgically fixed.
