hemihypertrophy- a physical disorder i have
i(rosie)was born with a disorder. Hemihypertrophy is a disorder in which one side of the body or a part of one side is larger than the other. Children or teenagers with hemihypertrophy may also develop scoliosis, a curvature of the spine. i have had this since birth but only recently developed scoliosis, i have to go to the hospital very regularly to have scans of my body, they take XRAY photos of my neck, spine, legs and feet to see if there has been any improvement but so far there has'nt which is disappointing. having this condition makes it hard for me to walk allot as it affects my back and legs even more, also it hurts. i have hemihypertrophy in my legs which mean my legs grow at different speeds, i have been measured and my leg difference is 2 inches apart which to some of you might not be much but to me is has a very large impact on my life. my right leg it growing faster than my left leg which means my legs are very different. i don't like showing my feet because i my feet are different sizes, my right foot is size 8 and my leg is 6 and 1/2.
i usually walk on the front on my foot like tiptoes and no one notices which i like, i hate when people say things like retard because it actually gets to me because of this. if you have a condition like this or any condition at all both me and beth are here if you want to talk about it
