My calf muscle is smaller than the other.. i was born like this.. does anyone know why?

Do you you know if: You had a " clubfoot" when you were born that was treated successfully? That would be one reason, because the calf muscle can be smaller on the extremity that had clubfoot. If you think you have a limb length discrepancy, ask your primary care doctor for a referral to an orthopedist because, with time, that could cause some compensatory scoliosis. Building up a shoe is the usual treatment.
