    Sorry, my comment was more a general statement on the provision of orthotics without regard to trying to alter body mechanics to fix a problem. Obviously leg length discrepancy is not something that can be fixed, but you had not mentioned that as a factor previously.

    You have been given sound advice by Physiobob and others, and I do not feel I have anything else to contribute to the discussion, personally.

    Hope it improves. Good luck.

    Re: Knee Pain

    Thank you everyone who has posted.

    I will have to bite the bullet and go back to the physio, preferably someone else rather then the initial one i went to.

    My question then goes to.....what can i reasonably expect for the physio to do when i see one? I was told by another physio that if when you see a physio and all they do is break out the ultrasound machine and electric stimulation machine then they really are not doing their job. Is that a valid point?

    I just really do not want to pay good money for half way solutions.
