7. Chronic Pain
With the many symptoms that a KTS carrier has to endure, it comes as no surprise that chronic pain becomes a part and parcel of life. Varicose veins can often become painful when severely enlarged. With the unbalanced gait that comes from having one limb longer than the other, many will develop back and hip pain.
In cases of curvature of the spine, or scoliosis, the ribcage may end up pressing on the heart and lungs, making it harder and more painful for them to function normally. Skin and soft tissue infections also become a common recurrence that is accompanied by sensations of pain.
