1) The middle of my neck.
2) I don't know why she said that I look disproportional specifically. I didn't want to probe further. I'm going to guess that it either means that my legs are too long or my femurs are too long compared to my tibs or both. My guess is probably both. With clothes on, I look proportional. Nobody has ever commented that I look disproportional with clothes on. The most common comment was that I look tall, which I admit is kind of nice.
Yea, I still recommend that book.
DoingItForMe's Precice 2 Internal Femurs with Dr. Paley
You will still recover! I've read it takes longer than a year for a near-full/full recovery. Hopefully those aches and pains aren't permanent.

Just guessing, but I doubt she said it because your legs are too long, probably the femur ratio. I say this because I have Asians in my family (I'm white, so by marriage to cousins and such) and generally they are shorter guys. But the two that are taller (5'9?) have long legs compared to white men.
Also, I grew up in a mostly black and Asian area, and the tall Asians had long legs, especially the Koreans. Not sure what flavor of Asian you are, but there is my anecdotal evidence for the day.
My family members are Philippino and Japanese.
Also, great advice on your recent update. Having Asians in my family I know they can be treated poorly sometimes by society, I've seen it.
I've read that calcium and vitamin d are more readily absorbed by the body if you take them while consuming fats at the same time, so the example was to take them while eating a couple of scrambled eggs, hope that helps.
As long as you don't look like a t-rex (lol), it doesn't matter if she commented on that. Her commenting that doesn't even necessarily mean that it's negative in her opinion.
I have received some comments about my legs/arms/body/hands/face/whatever as well ranging from negative to noticeable or positive. A lot of them I had sex with, no matter if it was negative or positive. So just relax

This. So much this.
Women talk. That's what they do. Most of it is just testing to see if you are secure with yourself. Its not even concious on their part, usually.

Thanks. The calcium/vit d bottle also says to take it with meals, so I've been doing just that.

It was a negative comment. But I'm not going to let it bother me. At this point, there's nothing I can do about it except do tibia lengthening to fix the ratio. But like I said before, I don't recommend this surgery. And even with the option of tibia lengthening and plenty of free time/money to do it, I'm not going to do it. I'm certainly not going to do it just because a girl said that I look weird. I'm pretty satisfied with who I am now and I'm sticking to that. I ain't going to let anyone convince me otherwise. And I hope you guys can figure out how to be satisfied/comfortable with your physical looks without this surgery.

There was a period of time around April when my legs weren't in pain anymore. So I doubt that the pain is permanent. It was the time that I stopped using the exogen machine, did leg workouts every other day, stopped taking calcium/vit d supplements, and walked more often. I suspect that one of these are the culprit for the pain that returned to my inner thigh. Fortunately I can report that the pain in my left TFL (the head of the femur) has been gone for months now.
did you get your vit D levels measured? even with taking supplements, levels might not jump up back to normal right away.
@DIFM
I think with LL you achieved that peace of mind, that most of the people on this forum are after.
So congratulations on that.
But, and that's the point, I think you wouldn't be able to have this relaxed attitude if you haven't done LL in the first place.
As somebody who is still affected by this you can try to tell yourself all the time that this won't bother you, but in the end, when you have one of these heightism situations, you will crave that peace of mind that you achieved, DIFM.
Hey DIFM!
How much Vit D and calcium did your doctor recommend you to take? I'm in my consolidating phase and mine didn't recommend a specific amount.
Thanks.
