Is one of your legs longer than the other?
It turns out 1 in 5 people with arthritis have legs that are mismatched – by 3/4 of an inch or more. Leg length can have a big impact on the rest of your body. If there’s a difference, it puts a lot of strain on your knee and hip joints which speeds the development of arthritis.
Have a doctor – or a tailor – measure your legs. If there is a difference over a half inch, you should consider wearing a simple, inexpensive heel lift to prevent undue stress on the rest of your body.
