Hip higher than the other

[jaxi123]

Does anyone have the right hip higher than the other? PT hasn't helped. What else could correct this?

If it's associated with one leg being longer than the other you could try orthotics in your shoes. I've seen people post on the forum saying that one leg is longer than the other.

Hello Jaxi, I just posted an update to my long history. I definitely had a femur/hip dysplasia (abnormally formed), since breaking my femur. I just had a 2022 hip revision surgery, that untwisted my femur/hip. I just posed that question for research, if the bones femur/hip - pelic-sacral, are mal-positioned, then are people PN prone? Do the bones need to be corrected too? It is all connected for me. Sincerest wishes for your recovery, clm.

Did your hip surgery solve your PN pain?

My right hip is rotated forward left hip rotated backwards and one leg is longer than the other. Over 20 years of physical therapy has not helped this at all.

Yes I wear a custom orthotics that you will have it for any PN pain issues.

In 2004 had diagnostic blocks in the alcocks canal area and PN surgery Notes say that is where I was entrapped, yet PN decompression surgery
gave me no relief.

I have several tarlov cysts which over 100 doctors have dismissed. The radiologist said they were the largest she had ever seen.
Has anyone else had decompression surgery and then go on to find you have Tarlov cysts and did you have Tarlov cyst surgery?

What made us PN-prone? What are the root causes? Have you been able to see orthopedic doctors too, especially at major research hospitals, and re-visit PN decompression specialist surgeons? Computer imaging/visualization/modeling software is so much better than twenty years ago when my odyssey began. Because of how I suddenly got PN, after a hip decompression surgery, while walking backwards while bearing a heavy weight; and how it was later perfectly released in a PN release surgery, yet subsequently failed - I wonder what roles, precisely, my hip/pelvic anatomy played in the PN? I know my femur head had flattened at an angle, after breaking the femur age nine months (yet, had caused no pain until age 45). So, cases like mine, yours, and others, make me wonder about the major role of lower torso anatomy, and what makes us prone to crushing our PNerves, and does that prone-ness also need to be corrected? Do we have abnormally shaped bones: like, a mal-formed femur head, lower torso hip/pelvic/spine imbalances, shallow or tilted hip sockets, or what bone-structure issues? And, developmentally or by injury, what tissue-related abnormalities cause PN: like injured hip ligaments, or hypermobility, or what? Maybe with ortho imaging, a PN tissue decompression surgery could be performed that also limits offending ortho bone and tissue placement and movement. Well, it is just my history, just Why, and can the root cause be repaired too? I did have a wonderful PN release surgeon, even though at the time in 2009 we did not know it could not stick; and, I just had a wonderful hip revision surgeon; so I have hope again. Keep very good notes and your images. Milegae may vary, but I’d try to revisit PN decompression and hip spino-pelvic experts doctors. Hang in there, for all of us. Bless you.
