Hello
Thanks for your query.You had a poliomyelitis at the age of six which has affected your Rt limb which is weaker and shorter than left.This is a natural sequel e of the polio where affected limb has more wasting and less power than the normal muscles looking thinner than the normal limb So you have to carry on and accept the fact.You can use special shoes to increase so that it will help you in balancing yourself while walking. the height of the Rt leg
