Just back from annual leave hence quiet recently!
Kat Balou - your situation sounds common. A leg length of that discrepancy should have been spotted by all the professionals that you have seen (assuming they actually physically assessed you). The knee cap issue is also common and while the orthotics will correct the length they will not change the way your legs work and the control around your knee without stability training and resistance work. Let me know how you go with your GP. Feel free to PM any queries.
And please stop popping NSAIDs everyone, particularly for acute trauma and injuries, even if they have been prescribed, as they are proven to impair soft-tissue healing by impeding vital chemical reactions.
