Hi to all
I wasn't quite sure where to post this either here or in injuries.
I had Perthes disease as a child which left me with just less than an inch difference in length between my legs.
I am now 34 and apart from a limp I haven't really thought about it until now. I have been cycling and using a cross trainer for a while but would like to take up running. Due to the difference in length i find my foot fall & running style is all over the place and me running on a treadmill sounds like a herd of elephants bouncing through the house.
I think i really need a control shoe & some kind of orthotic to shrink the difference as the potential is there to really injure my hip.
Has anyone got any recommendations on what i could get or who i should see for advice
(I live in Birmingham)
