Hi
I have hip osteoarthritis (& neck & spine) but on my worst hip my lower leg is bigger than my other lower leg. This hasn't come on all of a sudden it's been like this for a long time but i have just recently found you guys so thought i would just ask if this is the same for anyone else??

Thanks
Wendy x

    Hi Wobbly,

    We aren't medically qualified so as Sharon suggests, it's probably best you get this checked out by your GP. Hope you get some answers.

    Thank you for your replies.
    I have a review with gp next month to see if gabapentin is helping I will ask her then.
