Where are you measuring from?  The measurement you should be concerned
with is the distance from the middle of the saddle where you sit to
the bars.

I don't see how--unless you are climbing lots of hills and you don't
have a low enough gear, which means you are forced to exert tremendous
force on the pedals in order to turn the cranks.   I would try some
custom orthotics in your cycling shoes.  It would be nice if you could
see a podiatrist who has some experience dealing with cyclists.  The
solution may be as simple as shimming your shoes a few degrees to
either the inside or the outside.
