QuoteI just don't know really what else to say than just what I found out today. I'm very upset, angry, sad.
I went to my doctor today for a spirometer test. They have to measure your height to get accurate results.
I did the same test last year and was confirmed 173cm. I have measured myself to 173 lots of times. Only 172 a few times.
Today I found out that I am only 177,6cm. I was devastated, and still am. At the orthopedic center I was confirmed just about 180cm.
Back home I've measured myself a couple of zillion times and got 179 and 180 - all of the times.
I went back to the orthopedic center and just walked right to the measure tool. Exactly the same, 177,6cm.
I measured myself now back home just seconds ago. I am 177,6cm.
How the hell did this happen??? Everything looks fine with the screws and nail and everything. I have gained only 4,5cm. The doctors measured the gap in my bones to a little bit more than 7cm. I turned the device 7,4cm.
Don't know more what to say. I'm out of the 180-club Embarrassed
I was 173 before, no question about it. Absolutely minimum 172cm.
I'm doing femurs when I'm healed up from my 4,5cm gain, that's for sure now. "

QuoteI have the same problem. Was 176,3(cmeasured height by a doctor) did 7,7(xray confirmed) and I am around 181. Seems like tibia lengthening does not give the height the bone was lengthened. I still try to calm the nerves down and blame it on spinal curve but your thread seems to seal the deal I guess.
Since no other member actually measured himself so I just don't know. Had I know it will turn out like that I would never undergo it
What do you guys think?
