One leg is smaller than other
My left leg was operated almost 27 years ago due to a wrong injection given to me by a doctor. My left leg was twisted from the ankle part. After an operation my leg was plastered from thighs to fingers for nearly 6 months. My left leg is much thinner than right leg. Is there a possibility to reinstate it to the normal size ??
