Beware of No. Eight

For years and years I have been in a way the Chinese term as 八字腿 (number eight leg). Why? Cause when I walk my foot points outwards rather than straight ahead. The problem is more prominent on my right leg and I have recently decided to finally make a conscious effort to correct it. So far it had been pointed out by several people, namely my mum, Jase and KH. Even Psycho Ah Long says I walk funny. Likened me to Lat characters! WTF! Just after a few days of walking posture awareness, my leg has started to protest. At first, I experience pain below the knee, then a dull ache at my pelvis. Now, both sensations have gone only to be replaced by a slight tiredness in my right leg. I think it's starting to work. If you do see me walking incorrectly, do give me a gentle reminder. Thanks. :).

Why torture yourself like that? Having a distinctive walk is what makes you special. :)

If it can be changed, change it, if not, just let it. Only thing is you can't do a catwalk.

@LittleD:
It's not torture. It's a self-correction. :)

Now the other leg's painful. Weird! Maybe I'm compensating.

Just out of curiosity, in what direction do your feet point when they're in the air? :P
