I had my left hip replaced on 8th Feb 23 - so coming up to end of week 3.
Before this op my left leg was shorter following my right hip operations. My surgeon was aware of this and said he was going to try and level them up. I checked with him as I went into surgery that this was still his intention - he said it was. After surgery he said everything had gone well - I was too dozy to ask specific questions.
Is it feasible that my leg lengths feel different at week 3, but will resolve as time progresses. I'm due a phone appointment between week6-8.
My left leg currently feels a couple of centimetres longer. I find wearing an old orthotic in my right shoe helps when I'm walking, but is this a bad idea???
