no obvious jokes please, but does anyone else have this issue? I only recently found this out and in the past it has affected my knees, back, and especially my hip recently...

Do you find that you run in circles a lot?

Get surgery where they intentionally break your leg, set it slightly farther apart, regrows a little longer. I know someone who had a severe difference in their leg lengths go through a bunch of surgeries doing this and it was pretty much successful as far as I knew besides having to break your leg every six months, but if yours is slight i doubt that will be the case.

i have tried a lift in my shoe but my hip on one side is so tight and inflexible, i have to do hip openers in the gym everyday to allow me to do any leg work

Lived with it all my life. Just use a shoe lift in the shorter leg.

I've been sitting on my couch watching TV doing hw and reading TD for the past 4 hours with a blank face. I just busted out laughing when I read that. Holy shite.

i had it for a while cause my prosthetist was incompetent. outside of having orthopedic surgery, shoe inserts are the fix going forward. unless you're cool with those ortho shoes. 
. you're stuck with the joint issues for a while though. ....if they ever go away.

we need a medical board with all these fricking TD problems.
Theres all kinds of shite you can do, just google it. probably go to a PT to make sure its real and not just fricked up hips/muscle which can be conservatively fixed. btw how bad is it

My third leg is a little bit shorter than my other two.

That seems a bit over the top unless you have a really serious difference in length. My left is shorter than my right due to a hip injury and it was causing terrible sciatic nerve pain, so bad I couldn't even drive. I tried various size shoe lifts starting small and working my way up. I now don't suffer from the sciatic nerve burn. Sometimes just a little lift is all it takes.

Leg length discrepancies are normal. I see it all the time in clinic.

One of my legs is an inch longer than the other. Some douchebags sometimes thing I'm wasted when that's how I actually walk. Don't notice it anymore, but it sucks getting everything hemmed.

Let me guess... You went to a chiropractor who gave you this line of BS?
Many years ago, I had a sore shoulder from too much throwing in baseball and softball. Dumb arse chiropractor immediately cracks my back and tells me one leg was longer than the other. He said he fixed it and I might have a tough time walking now that my legs were the same length again. Never noticed anything withy legs, but my shoulder still hurt like hell. Will never to to a quack chiro again.
