Why it happens: Arthritis, curves in the spine, or surgery can, on occasion, leave a patient feeling as though one leg is longer than the other.
How to spot it: If, after several months of healing, you notice any of the following, call your doctor.
- Backache
- Sense of imbalance
- Numbness in one foot
Prevention tips: Be patient during the recovery process: Exercise, stretching, healing and settling often help a perceived imbalance disappear on its own.
