Due to a knee surgery many years ago, I have one leg slightly longer than the other & have slightly off kilter walk. A completely unlikely scenario in which I’m stranded in the desert and must walk for help. I fear I may trek for what seems an eternity only to find myself coming full circle. Again most likely will not occur. But if so, I am prepared to account for leg length deficit.
This can result in issues with your vertebrae. At least it did for me. If you experience lumbar pain or weird lower body tingling, act sooner, not later.
I heard everyone does this as one leg is the main leg and thus stronger. Lefties turn to the right, righties to the left or so. So your knee would either even you out or shrink the circle.
I am relieved to know that I am not alone. That said, I need to complain about that old surgery from many years ago. I gotta say, despite all the hazards, the team of surgeons in ‘87 did some absolute bang up job & perhaps several miracles upon moi, yours truly. For this, I am forever grateful and always consider myself quite blessed to be walking slowly but with everyone.
Thats great to hear :) despite all the bad things humans do, some are good. Like saving one the ability to walk. I hope youll have many walkable years left.
What will you do if you overcompensate?
They'll circle back to this question later
