Asymmetric body...

Hi,
my problem is I have a very asymmetric body (also face) and it's especially noticable in my legs. My whole body is therefore somewhat tilted to one side. I swear, one knee cap is about 4-5cm higher than the other. I can never wear skirts or shorts without getting funny looks. I also get all types of pain all over my body because of that and am afraid to do strenuous exercise.
Does anyone have a similar problem here and how do you cope with it? Can you even do any exercise without injuring yourself if the bone structure on one side is so different from the other side?

    Have you ever been checked for scoliosis? Sounds like you may have a moderate case. Talk to a doctor.

    I'll second this for solidarity. If it's causing you pain, that's definitely something to get checked out. If it is something like scoliosis, there are ways to correct or minimize it.

    I definitely agree - see a doctor!
