It's not a magic bullet, you gotta do the work. You'll do fine.

What's his opinion on orthotics?

After he tested the leg for strength he stopped and just put me on a basic strength program, the leg is so weak it can't support my weight independently anymore. In two weeks (after I do all my exercises) he's going to reevaluate to see what's next.

One interesting thing... found out my left leg is .5 inches shorter than my right.
