Re: Short Leg Syndrome-for Tom

[Guest guest]

Hi Tom,

I felt that this needed to be discussed on the list again

because of what I found out about myself now from the podiatrist

and the fact that he said that although I may not feel pain now

I will later.

That second article that I have listed was the most intriguing

and am going to ask my podiatrist more about it especially after

some other stuff I read on another site about the kinds of

things that can occur as far as problems with the feet and how

it can cause pain to occur in the lower back and then henceforth

cause issues in the vulvar area too.

I can't believe you have been on the list for 7 years now.

The podiatrist is going to try and help balance me out as best

as he can and then I will consider having a PT check my pelvis

itself to see if it's rotating the wrong way and then have my

Pain Management doctor put my sacral area back in place. She

did that for me shortly after I read what you told someone else

about the issue. But that will come after I see just how much

what the podiatrist has in mind for me helps or doesn't help me.

Krisy and all,

A good pair of orthotics (not the ones that you put your foot in a foam

cast but the one that you are actually casted with plaster) are a great

idea no matter what your problems are but....correcting the short leg

with a heel wedge is not. If the leg length is due to the pelvis then

that must be completly corrected first. Otherwise you are just

perpetuating the asymmetry. My advice, Find a PT / Osteopath who knows

how to correct the asymmetries, fix them and then go for the orthotics.

Yup it has actually been over 8 years when I looked back on my calender.

How time flies..

I put an orthotic under my "long" leg. I don't know if that's a good idea or not, but it worked for me. I did it for a few months. I also was very very careful about not "cocking" my hip or hanging out with one hip higher than the other and resting the other hip and leg. I did that a lot.

love, Molly

Hi Molly,

An orthotic or a heel wedge?

YOu put it under the long leg? Hmmmmmmm

Withought knowing what the particular dysfunction of the palvis, sacrumand

lumbars I could not hazzard a guess. Sounds like it worked though.

Tom,

I see the podiatrist again in 2 weeks. When he was talking

about the issue of orthotics he's talking about the one you

mentioned: the custom made ones. I still have more questions

for him.

After I talk to him I will try to line up a PT to check my

pelvis to get their opinion too.

Congrats on being on the list so long. Glad to have you here.

Tom,

Thanks in return. I'm just glad that the podiatrist said that

the orthotics will be covered by my insurance company. I'm

afraid to imagine how much the cost out is going to be to me

when he's decided that it's time to start making them.

The reason for considering a PT for my issue if my pelvis is

rotated wrong and such is because I don't know that my Pain

Management doctor who is an osteopath could correct the rotation

of my pelvis if it is in crooked alignment.

I will keep you posted on how this turns out.

Either way, Osteopath or PT, they would need to be specially trained in

how to corrrect the pelvis.

Seems sad that such a fundamental issue is almost completely ignored by

the educational system.

Tom

My one leg(left) is shorter than right. How long does it take to correct this? How many visits does it take?

Is there anyone in PA you can recommend?

thanks

Makes so much sense that if a woman is complaining of vulvar/bladder pain, etc. to make sure her pelvis is aligned properly. I've heard docs/practitioners say, 'everyone has asymmetry'...and that may be true. But I say if you are having pain in a particular area 'and' that area is misaligned, makes so much sense to balance it out - to at least SEE if it would help. Amazing how that seems to be the most OVERLOOKED cause of pain. ~Chelle

[Guest guest]

> Right on Chelle,

It is overlooked for two reasons

#1. 99% have no clue how to examine the landmarks

#2. 99.99% have no concept of the asymmetry because they never study it in

school. Therefore, it goes unchecked and it is CRITICAL to a cure.

That is what the course I am developing is all about.
