Consider having a full orthopedic re-evaluation with updated imaging. Suspect you possess potential leg length asymmetry, which can lead to discomfort doing walking and other daily tasks. A physiatrist might be useful to address rehabilitation approaches, and orthotic devices for your feet and legs might be helpful. Physical therapy can guide toward beneficial exercises. Very worthwhile.
