Nice post to hear from you friend!
You deserve to get better.
Don't be hitting the ODIC as you have to be just so weary of holding back.
We are rooting for you.

@Marvy - Before I had my shoes modified by a shoe repair shop, I bought a gizmo on-line called 'Evenup' which was recommended by my PT. It cost about $35 with shipping. I think it's made somewhere in Ga. It fits over your existing shoe and comes with a lift of 1/2", and 1" so you can try both. I have one on a pair of crocs I walk in every day. I use the 1" lift. It's been on my croc now for 6 months and still going strong. Before thinking about lifts, it would probably help to first now the magnitude of your LLD.
As Pumpkin and Jamie suggested, a podiatrist can measure it. Some PT's are also trained to measure LLD.
As far as revision surgery to fix my LLD, I would never consider it. My elevated shoes work just fine.
Best of luck!
