Hi... I'm a 31-year-old and 183cm guy who walks with a slant to the right. I feel very bad because sometimes even some of my family members make fun of it. Over the last 8 years, I have tried to correct my gait but not successfully enough, since the left bone structure was set this way since my childhood, I guess.

Now, is this slanting related to the fact that at age 2 I fell with my left shoulder and back into a boiling dish? -- The folk cure they used to treat the burn left me with a thick layer of corrugated skin, and my left shoulder feels like holding a filled sack.-- Also my left hip, and the entire left leg are not straight enough, which really adds to the slant.

What exactly should I do? Should I, at least, have my left shoulder operated on? What can be done about the left hip and leg?

Thank you for the time, and advice.

Do you have access to good modern medical care now, preferably at a medical center affiliated with a medical school? I would see an orthopedist. But it's impossible to know online what may have happened when you were injured at 2 and what you may have been born with.
If there was any broken bone in your leg, it would have scar tissue surrounding it now, and surgery can be problematic, since surgery also produces scarring.

Hi.. Thanks for the reply. I have nothing broken but from age 2 I have had this folded burnt skin. Also, my hips and left leg bones are deformed or more apart than normal. All this causes this asymmetry.

I'm thinking of undergoing surgery on my shoulder, and/or hips but I'm scared. Besides, I can't afford an expensive intervention now.
