Quote from: CCMidwest on April 02, 2016, 10:28:54 PMYou made a post last year about not ever doing LL do to the risk of knee or other joint pain. I assume you've changed your mind.

You've done all you can to fix the scrawny and ugly?


I've made a lot of posts here but I don't remember saying "never" doing LL due to the risk of knee or other joint pain. I spent a lot of time posting here and learning about those risks. I actually think with the reverse planning method championed by Fitbone surgeons, risks of chronic knee/hip/joint pain are pretty low. And even if you did get premature arthritis, being short is painful all the time. So it's a trade off of one pain (psychological) for another (physical).

In my case, yes I am doing my best to fix my ugliness first. If all that goes well, and I still feel ambitious, then perhaps I will do LL. Time will tell. I hate being short. If I had the time and was able to do it right now, I would just let someone chop up my legs tomorrow. But LL is difficult to plan for and practically get done.

Not trying to argue with you, but you said, "What I have decided is that as much as I'd like to be 3" taller, it's not a viable option for me unless there is a better technique or something I'm not thinking of." - April 08, 2015, 03:16:11 AM

Which is why I thought that.

Then in June I made this thread:

Better technique and something I was not thinking of found. At what point did you consider LL, and what did you try before this?
