No Sleep. Pain.

I've been unable to sleep tonight. Pain is the reason. Knee and leg again. Same old.

It's my right side. The pain is like deep aching tiredness, not a pain I am overly familiar with. I am far more familiar with the sheer white lightning zing of nerve pain.

There is a swollen nob on one side of my knee and a bruise on the other side. I might have hit it with something, in the flurry of activity to get ready for Pet Day and the booth.

Tonight, on my bed, unable to sleep, I raised both legs straight up to massage my sore knee. I noticed something right off. My left leg is shorter than the other leg. Not just by a little. Looks like about an inch or more than an inch shorter. I knew from birth my left leg was shorter than my right one. But I think it's more extreme now.

I got to thinking 'I bet that's causing a lot of my knee and leg problem.' I'm going to get some lifts for my left shoe to raise it up some. I just read online that a leg length discrepancy can be either anatomical or functional and there's a way to tell which you have, called "the Deerfield test". I guess leg length discrepancies can cause all sorts of problems in your lower or upper body or both.
