I' ve seen both: It depends on the ways your body is compensating with the leg length discrepancy along with the strength and flexibility of the muscles involved. I've seen both scenarios (pain in longer or shorter leg). The main thing is to get shoe adjustment if the difference is significant. www.otwithmd.com.
