What kind problems did you have?

I cannot stand in one place for more than a few minutes and because of that I stand more on one foot than the other. This makes my feet very sore. Walking on concrete is quite difficult which also makes my feet sore.

I cannot walk for more than about ten minutes as my feet become quite sore.

I cannot do ironing or vacuum cleaning for very long as both activities give me a very sore back. (What a great excuse!)

I have an insert that I put in the shoes I am wearing which does make life a little bit easier. I limp when I walk but the insert minimises the limp.

Although one short leg is a bother to live with, I have lived with it all my life so you do, sort of, get used to it. But I would rather both legs were the same length. Life for my feet and back would be so much more simple and comfortable.

But I can't complain, really. There are many people out there that are much worse off than I, so I count myself lucky that my disability is only a minor disability.
