Hello, It looks that you are having shortening at your left leg. Such problem lead to difficulty in walking as well as pain at your back due to increase work of muscle at one side of spine. You will be happy to know that such shortening is correctable. In this advanced era this may be corrected with help of Lizard surgery. Although this needs a thorough clinical examination, your orthopedic surgeon is best judge for it. The best center in world is in Russia for this. But in India there are various places like AIMS. Most of the metro city hospitals, medical colleges and various other hospital where such type of surgery is performed. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
