    THR Muscle Problems?

    UPDATE: I saw the PA this week. They did an X-ray on left hip it was fine. Radiology did some kind of scan to measure the leg length. It’s longer than the other leg by 1/4”. I was told to use a heel lift or get orthotics. I’ve tried the heel lift but it pushes my foot to the front of the...
