    Re: possible leg length problem more so than OA

    Sorry about your trouble.
    Simple measure: - This might benefit significantly from botulinum toxin injection into Vastas lateralis quad muscle.
    Kesary, Y., Singh, V., Frenkel-Rutenberg, T. et al. Botulinum toxin injections as salvage therapy is beneficial for management of patellofemoral pain syndrome. Knee Surg & Relat Res 33, 39 (2021).

    they used 500 units of Dysport botulinum = 200 units of Botox which seems like overkill. If it is not bad all the time then 100 units Botox might do but is $400 in my country.

    Good luck
