    I had my right hip replaced about 7 weeks ago and now my right leg is about 1.5 cm longer than the left. I know it was a risk and I now have shoe insert. I’m told it may settle once the muscles etc heal.
    just wondered if anyone else had this problem and if it did settle.

    Morning @RonaFranklin and welcome to the online community.

    Sorry to hear your concerns about your right leg being longer than left.

    I am sure you discussed with doctor and consultant and others in the same position will connect with you soon.

    The following link maybe of interest….
