that would have been a seriously amazing delusion to have. Since it apparently seemed to the psychiatrist that I believed something that he decided wasn't real, he misdiagnosed me with schizophrenia (I'm not making this up) and as having delusions.
I'm glad you were finally able to figure it out, but it stinks that it took so long.
Oh wow, that's infuriating! I don't remember the details of how it went down with my sister, just that she got sent to the doctor for a follow-up after a scoliosis screening (I think it involved crossing your legs and touching your toes?) and the doc was all "not scoliosis, just a short leg" and there you go. My parents thought MD's were the way to go and didn't think chiropractors were worthwhile. It took 1 visit to form a hypothesis and measure my legs to confirm. The difference (aside from age) is I actually went to a chiropractor rather than an MD. It wasn't until I was an adult that I finally decided to try again under the assumption that they would take me more seriously. Eventually, I just realized nobody would ever believe me and I would just have to live with the pain. Then I would tell the psychiatrist the same thing. Since I didn't have scoliosis and still insisted I had back pain, they would refer me to a psychiatrist. I would complain about back pain and then they would check for scoliosis under the false assumption that the only cause for back pain in a teenager is scoliosis. It was really frustrating when I was a teenager. I started noticing this back pain as a teenager, but don't have scoliosis and always passed that. I'm not sure what is going on with my gait but I definitely wear through my right shoes quickly and have been working with mild knee pain primarily in my right knee related to both lifting and running. I can see how that would create problems! My sister has the same issue but found out about it in high school after failing a scoliosis screening, so she's had time to adjust - I think she wears a lift most of the time. Every few days when it gets bad enough to bother me or every few hours if I really want to get it right. Unfortunately, I just have to redo this often. If I lay on my back and move the right way on a foam roller, I can get it pretty much back to where it should be again. So I just end up dealing with pain and re-aligning my back regularly. Unfortunately, I don't know what I can actually do about it. I do notice it when I'm standing straight on level ground. It made sense once I knew because the back pain is so much worse after long hikes/walks/runs or just time on my feet. I spent years (more than a decade) with back pain before figuring that out. My biggest problem, however, is that my right leg is shorter than my left leg. I still get some boredom, and I don't exactly track how many times I go each direction but hope that my random changes are enough. I try to mix it up to avoid boredom and to not tun the same way every time. The loop has a couple options in the middle, so I can do figure 8's or just the outside loop, or whatever. On running the same direction: My normal week-day route ends up being mostly around a loop at the city park.
