Kristy,

I do not know the exactly but its enough to be noticeable to me when I wear jeans, etc. I would say maybe inch and half? Would I see a specific doctor for this as I think this is probably what is causing these issues for me?

Carolyn, one of my very best friends had pudendal nerve surgery

done five months ago for electric shocks in the clitoris.

It is possible but an electric shock in the vagina is usually

something putting pressure on the pudendal nerve.

Pelvic / sacral symmetry and pressure at Alcock's canal is the

ususal cause.

I'm off to Ski in Colorado for a week so I'll get to the rest of your questions

when I get home.

does the pelvis stay aligned once he aligns it?Delicious ideas to please the pickiest eaters. Watch the video on AOL Living.

He's talking about if the area is uneven (asymmetrical). If it

is uneven such as one side being higher than the other like can

happen with the hip (this relates to the pelvis) this can cause

a great deal of pain and pressure.

Yes, this could have something to do with the one leg being

shorter than the other.

This can occur due to something like scoliosis, and depending on

the degree of curvature of the spine when the pain occurs it can

occur on the opposite side of the body from where the actual

problem is too. (found this out from my Pain Management doctor)

Carol, do you know what the measurement is of the shortened leg

compared to the other one?

Carolyn, I have a couple of ideas for you. 1). Try to find a D.O. who does manipulations. 2). Go to Tom for an alignment. Tom really knows his stuff when it comes to aligning the pelvis. You asked about the sacral asymmetry. My sacrum is one of my biggest pelvic floor problems. It keeps slipping up on the right side. ~Chelle

[Guest guest]

D.O.'s are trained in school to 'realign' areas of the body that are misaligned. Does that make more sense? They study medicine just like M.D.s, but with the extra training of doing spinal manipulations. Not all D.O.s choose to do manipulations, some specialize in them. ~Chelle

I think it depends on what is causing your pelvis to be asymmetrical and your own set of 'unique' circumstances! Even with other issues, my sacrum stayed aligned for 1.5 yrs. after I saw Tom...and during that time...I did really, really well! If I can get to the heart of the other issues (crooked tailbone, spur, etc.) I am very hopeful that I can have Tom realign me and then work to stay that way. I plan to use a good SI joint belt next time around. ~Chelle

Hi Kristy my left leg is shorter, sometimes I have lower back aches.

Carol,

You can have a podiatrist, orthopedic surgeon, or even your

primary care physician to get a measurement of both legs to see

how much of a difference is between your shortened leg and the

other one. Which side is the shortened leg on? I'll explain

later why I ask. Also, didn't you say one time you had some

issues with your back?

Kristy,

No, I don't have scoliosis, just the left leg shorter than the right

Carol,

For some reason I thought you mentioned that you had scoliosis

too but the shortened left leg could be causing your back aches

in addition to the other problems.

Carol,

With all the discussion in the past week or so it's hard to keep

straight who does and doesn't have what in relation to their

back.

But this shortened leg could be playing in to your problems that

you have now. Are you having any problems with your feet as far

as the kind of shoes you wear?

Hi Kristy,

Actually, they use a tape measure but they use it on the x-ray.

Also, if the pelvis is not symmetrical, before they measure then you get

a bogus result. So often heal wedges can actually hold the asymmetry in

place

NOT a good thing..

And speaking of not a good thing, I have to fly into Cleveland Ohio tomorrow.

They are getting 2 inches of snow an hour!!!

Tom,

I think I am getting the picture now. So that means that if

there is asymmetry going on with the hip area then that means

the orthotics like heel wedges don't completely take care of the

asymmetry. That then means that more needs to be done to

evaluate the problem further. Does this sound right?

I'll explain when you come back. Sorry about all the snow in

Cleveland. Have a safe flight.

Kristy
