If you are talking to me. Then that depends on the real cause.

I've already suggested that if a leg length discrepancy was due to posture, then likely a physical therapist will be needed. If it does turn out that something is wrong and the doctors recommend surgery, then I'd probably have the surgery. I don't believe doctors recommend surgery for physical differences in leg length that only affect cycling.

The whole jist of the arguments others seem to have with what I've said is that they want to tell the OP what to do for a shorter leg or accept the self-diagnosis of the OP for a discrepancy of sit bone height.

I'm just saying the OP should find out if either of those actually exist for them. As without those being in the mix, the OP probably just has the wrong saddle or incorrect saddle height. Maybe both. And perhaps from when they had the saddle way too high, they got use to sitting at a angle.

However we've not been able to get there yet since everyone seems to want to talk to me instead of the OP.
