Hi Ricky....yes my femur has moved up causing my leg to be 2.5 to 3 inches shorter. I never had a professional shoe made, but my husband has made them for me by glueing soles from one shoe onto another, with some silicone in between. He's done very well with this and I have about 10 pairs of shoes! Haha! I do daily strengthening and stretching exercises for my legs and feel this is very important. My husband used to stretch my leg for me, by pulling down gently on it while laying on the bed, but I figured a way to do it with my other foot to pull down and stretch it. I have built up a lot of scar tissue in that leg and want to keep it pliable so to speak???? Due to severe infection at time of surgery, they also had to remove my vastus lateralis muscle and iliotibial band due to muscles necrosis. Anyway, I'm pleased with how well I am doing overall and grateful not to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair or be in constant pain! I'm still noticing things I can do while exercising that I couldn't do 2 months ago. Wishing you continued wellness!!!! Cindy
