Personal History:
I didn't know about my melorheostosis until this week. I went to a foot doctor to have some insoles made because I was born with one leg shorter than the other. When I was younger, my doctor told me I should have insoles or I would develop a very bad limp and would be able to hear my hip bones grind. But I waited until last week to have the insoles made and that's when the doctor found something on an X-ray that he didn't like. He sent me for a CT scan, and this is what they found.
I would like to know if the melorheostosis can spread? Can it can be treated? What could happen long-term if I don't take care of it ?
