T was born with a folded up foot and different leg lengths. M has always been concerned. I felt she could grow out of it. Her ped said no big deal at first but now after her 9 mo appointment is worried and we had to hold her down for X-rays today (not fun). Any experience? Advice? She said we will likely be referred to Shriners. Bleh. I'm feeling stressed and worried but want to stay off Google.

My aunt had different leg lengths as a result of undiagnosed hip dysplasia.
Hoping for the best for T! -
@oliviaoblivia: thank you!
-
Try a pediatric chiropractor? Different leg lengths are often from hip and pelvic imbalances that are totally treatable. Fingers crossed!

Not with babies, but after my car accident my right leg was two inches longer than my left because of hip alignment issues. Once we got that straightened out, everything was mostly back to normal. I hope everything is okay with T!

@MrsSRS: yes we did this with temporary improvements.@avivoca: thanks for chiming in! Glad you are well.

Sadly we got the referral to Shriners today based on the x rays. Poor T.

I have a short leg, 12mm. But....i never knew until after a car accident. The chiro couldnt figure out why my legs wouldnt line up: finally he measured and so many things in my life made sense! Like my propensity to lean on one leg, and one side being prone to shin splints, and why my shorts always look uneven. I wear a lift inside my shoe.

@OhCaptain: thank you for chiming in. Glad you got it resolved.

Our Shriners appointment is in 3 weeks! They had no extra info when they called for the appointment.
