Question:

How to tell which of my legs is shorter?

I am somewhat sure I have some kind of leg length discrepency, probably due to a muscle imbalance. I am guessing this because I've done some research, and the reading I've done seems to fit what is happening to me: When I run, my body tends to lean rightwards (this was not happening before I had a run-in with injuries)... But I can't understand which leg may be shorter (by a few millimeters, probably) right now because when I run, my right leg always lands center-of-body and my left leg to the outside, so to me it seems like my body is trying to get the left leg "out of the way" by bringing it to the outside, and thus my left leg is probably a little longer... Yet when I read the info, it says that the longer leg starts taking on most of the weight, and since my right leg is always landing center, and thus getting all the impact, that would mean my right leg is longer... Yet when I sit down and stretch my legs forward, it seems my LEFT goes a few mm longer. What to do??
