I'm 21 and got LP at age 5, in my left hip. At age 13 I had knee surgery on my right leg to slow down the growth in it before i finished growing. This operation was successful for I now have no leg discrepancy therefore do not need shoe lifts. I do, though, experience pain in that knee now, which is disappointing since it was a healthy knee. I have also heard of leg-lengthening...which i wish i had known about before i had the operation.
