When I was younger I developed a limp, by 14 found out my leg was shorter than the other. Was diagnosed with Fiber Dysplacia and had a bone tumor at the bottom part of my femur. My left femur bows and even takes a twist AND makes it shorter than my right femur.
I had surgery at 14, tumor was benign, and they put staples in all of my growth plates in my right knee (to let the left catch up) and stables in 1 side of my right knee to try and even out my left femur.
Since I have been fine however I get the basic arthritis in the cold, etc along with my left knee not lining up right it bugs me.
My question is, I am 28 now, things have changed since then. Is there anything or any procedures I should be looking into? My pain is minimal but my left knee region swells sometimes just because it isn't lined up right. I can run and play but I have this terrible limp and my left leg bows, I am sick of the embarrassment. Am I just going to have to live like this forever? And also should I be concerned with the tumor ever becoming cancerous? I want to stay on top of this, don't want to find out in 10 years I'm gonna lose a leg or die because I thought everything was good to go.
Thanks.
