leg length descrepancy

I fractured my right hip and now my right leg is shorter than my left. The P.T. put a heel insert in my shoe which works for a short time, but after I wear it for a while I get stabbing pains in my right leg when I walk. Is there a corrective shoe I can wear? I find it very uncomfortable and I become very tired walking with a limp. Thank you.

This soft cushion, enriched with a medical grade mineral oil (USP), is designed to conform comfortably between toes or fingers to moisturize, soften, protect, and cushion the painful spot from abrasion and friction with adjacent toe or finger.
