Orthopedic insoles anyone?

[lippy 918]

A few years ago I did my last HP landing and it was SO HP that the doctor had to bolt my leg back together!

I'm not sure if it's my getting older or what, but I'm starting to notice that my right leg is quite a bit shorter than my left and it's causing me hip and back pain (not to mention that my coin purse is favoring the one side and causing me chafing).

I'm thinking that some insoles might help me out here, but would rather avoid a trip to the ortho on this if possible. Is anybody here in a similar boat that could recommend a good 'over-the-counter' insole? Am I better off just seeing the doctor?

I got nuthin

See a good SPORTS foot doctor to see what you really need. I've been wearing orthotics since I was about 12 and the right pair will make all the difference in the world. Don't waist money on a do it yourself fix. You generally get what you pay for, not more.

Go see a doc and have them find out whats going on. Then if they feel you need some sort of insoles or supports they will point you in the right direction.

Go see the doc. Have them check for leg length discrepancies. Options may be as simple as PT/osteopathic/chiropractic adjustments, to possible orthotics, or worst case something wrong related t the hardware from the surgery.
Anyway you look at it, with a history of the surgery I would get it checked out.
