Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
The injection can cause you paralysis of the isciadic nerve and the leg may be weak but not shorter.
You need to see a neurologist to check the nerve status of your leg with EMG and see an orthopedic surgeon to do Xrays and evaluated leg length discrepancy.
Most probable diagnosis is polyomyelitis.
