Hi ya'll.
Ok, been away a while. Saw my surgeon. He said everything was perfect. He also said I will have pain for one year. He knows, because he had a knee replacement and his MD said he'd hurt for one year and almost to the day the hurt then went away. AND he never had physical therapy (might explain why I didn't have physical therapy). AND he is a surgeon who doesn't like medicine. So don't take any. It's all poison. And 3/4 of an inch difference is very acceptable and NO, I don't need a lift (thankfully I circumvented this and have 3 pair). He also asked me if I had scoliosis. As I my left shoulder is higher than my right ). Yes I obviously do, otherwise I would have never served in the military and have afterward been a paramedic for 13 years. It has nothing to do with my left leg now being 3/4" longer. He also said that my pelvis must be tilted.
I have severe pain in my hip and lower back regularly. I have only 3 pair of shoes that have an exterior lift. Some shoes I can put a decent amount of inserts in that level me out a bit. Can't quite find a happy medium. Just recently found a job as mall security officer. Been out of work since middle of December. So, I haven't been a bundle of joy. Got tired of having nothing good to say, so I just left the forum for a bit. On the good side,at work I wrote a couple of tickets for improper parking in handicapped spaces ($100.00 fine) and got to handcuff a shoplifter (I have bright yellow handcuffs - they're so cool). I have to admit it's quite fun. Just hurts to walk so much. I'm hoping to get used to the walking.
