Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on November 13, 2020, 12:09:10 AMI can walk and run normally.  My balance is a little worse than it should be due to the higher center of gravity.  Sometimes my calves feel a little stiff, and I have minor tendonitis in my patellar ligaments.

They seem like good choices.  I was also considering Dr. Jamal Abu Nemer in Ukraine when I was thinking of doing femurs several years ago, but his entry on the doctors page hasn't been updated since then, so I don't know what the latest on him is.

Thank you for your advice and information. Means a lot. I’m happy that your able to walk and run.
I guess there will be at least 1 problem, will never really be 100%. I just hope I’ll end up doing the 2 surgeries and not back out by only doing 1. I’ll go 8cm first then I hope I’ll go for 5/6cm after. I won’t really be on this forum much as I’ve got the information I needed. I’ll be on some times.
If you know any diaries where a patient/someone has done 2 surgeries please let me know thank you !!! Stay safe

Can I do 12cm on my height two years apart?

Me:
I'm a Chinese from Shanghai.And I've been being bothered with height dysphoria since 14.

My height:
I'm 162cm or so at night and 163cm at the midday(measured by wood-jointed height measurer for children and by myself without shoes and socks nearly bearheadedly).I wanna do 6.5cm on femur and 5.5 on tibia or 7cm on femur and 5 on tibia.
I dunno how that'll feel like and whether that'll be possible.

My flexibility:
I can palm on the floor and walk without any pain of tensing.My score of sit-and-reach is 31cm without shoes.(And it's still improving...I dunno why.It was 20cm at 15...Now I'm 20+ y.o).

Sizes of my feet:
I'm always wearing a pair of US8.5 shoes(They'd been at these sizes when I was 15) equalling to many 178+ men's.


My weight:
My weight is 54kg by now.Its minimum is 48kg and its maximum is 55kg(measured in the same year).In addition my back is a little wide.

My proportion:
I can't measure exactly but I asked my mother to count my proportion and she said my lower body was short and my upper body was long in all.

My physical condition:
Generally speaking it's normal by now.No diseases.Not infected with COVID-19.And no cyphosis.

And I can't measure other parameters determining how LL'll go.I'll show them on my doctors' X-rays or somethin

Hey, sorry if I'm derailing on MDOW's thread here, but I wanna know: Is this actually real? Since when is there a correlation between shoe size and height? I am 5' 7" and have a shoe size of 10.5 US.

No one said shoe size is definitely related to height

Yeah, that's what I thought. It just didn't make sense to me why you'd mention it is all.

I just thought that was counted into my body proportion.If you grow taller by 12cm but stand on 7US or even 6US feet then you'll look like a compass.

Probably.

There is a positive correlation between height and shoe size; it's just not a perfect correlation.  Most tall people have larger feet, and most short people have smaller feet, in general.

176 cm with an 8.5 US men's shoe size is reasonable IMO.

There is a correlation between height and foot size, just like height and wingspan. Height usually is 7 times the lengh of foot.

The normal height-to-foot ratio is about 6.6:1, according to data from the University of Rhode Island Department of Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering. That means you'll generally have roughly 6.6 inches of height for 1 inch of foot length.
