Dear Lilac11:

You had a difference of 15″ between leg length when you were 13, at the time you were diagnosed?

A fall earlier in your life caused your right leg to stop growing. Does this mean that you were not taken to a doctor while the difference in leg lengths grew to 15″, while you must have been significantly limping for years?

You wrote that the abnormal curve, your severe scoliosis happened because of that growing difference in leg lengths. Does this mean that your scoliosis could have been prevented altogether if you received medical care way before 13 by you wearing corrective shoes and getting physical therapy early on?
