Don't worry buddy u got a long way to go. Give it 2 years after surgery, and you should go back to running state.

I am 178cm at my lowest and when I stand on my tippy toes I can tell a difference, but sometime I think is it really that much of a difference to be worth all the time and money, is it even going to make a difference in how people see you?!?!

Where you from that you consider to do this at 5'10? Because if you are not from a country with 180+ average I dont see any reason to do this

  So in my humble opinion you shouldnt do this. Your height is perfectly fine. you are a little more than average in the US. Hit the gym (if you aren't doing it already) and you will build confidence.

Yea, I have to agree with you. BUTTTTTTT I have this little voice in my head saying it is not good enough because it is not the ultimate desired height and maybe cause all my cousins and brothers are all over 6'......... or it maybe I might just be a f*cking narcissit DoingItForMe's Precice 2 Internal Femurs with Dr. Paley

 Some people have the "desired" height but they lack the facial aesthetics or the charisma or the talent or who knows what. No body is perfect. I will tell you this (if it helps in any way and btw if you want to talk in PM we can). I am the shortest of my siblings (I have 3 half brothers). I am 5'7 and all of them are 5'9 or maybe even 5'10. They are 19 years old. Till this day they never even kissed a girl (And their height is considered tall in Israel) while I had my fair share of the opposite sex. I almost finished med school (finish in July this year) and have a wonderful social life (they suck in school and almost have no friends). Height DOES MATTER but it not the ONLY THING that matters. You are made of alot of traits and your height is one of them. And in your case its not even a setback.. Your height is more than fine believe me. Build a good looking body and work on your confidence and you will open up doors that not even 5 inches will be able to open for you

Quote from: TIBIKE200 on January 30, 2016, 10:44:10 PMor stand on a book. I stood on a book that is 5-6cm today to see the difference. It was immense. I was amazed by how much the world changes at 5cm. This would also explain why on the old forum alot of people said that they lost their neurosis once they hit the 5cm mark

I stood on a 5cm book... Didn't make much of a difference in my eyes.

looked at my X-rays today. Looks like my bone is consolidated on three sides on both legs. However, oddly, there's rarely and bone growth on the left side of my left leg and on the right side of my right leg. There's plenty on the other three sides, though. Very odd. My bone is forming a U shape around the rod. Hopefully it will wrap around fully eventually. But it's been 6.5 months post op, with no signs of vertical growth on those two sides. It's as though the bone just stopped growing there. I guess my only hope is for the bone to grow horizontally and wrap around.



Have you asked your dr if this is normal? If its been 6.5 months shouldnt there be some hint of bone regeneration there?
