significant leg length discrepancy

May 28, 2011

Yes I think I would be getting a second opinion before rushing back into

surgery.

I feel awful for you I would be very dissapointed too, but hang in there,

and get some answers.

I would be really upset too. I'm so sorry this happened to you, and it makes

me question the skill of your surgeon.

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.
