Hi Kathy...when you have a hip replacement this often happens...you did not have it that long ago....have you done
physical therapy? If so, how much? What did the PT say re
garding your leg length discrepancy? What is the difference
between the length n how did the doc measure them? sometimes it is not a true discrepancy and there are muscles
and tendons that have not been used and also the other side
often is tweaked by walking strangely for a period of time and it takes the body awhile to sort this out....Karen
