Is there a people who give up mid LL because it’s too painful?

Quote from: user1396 on December 23, 2022, 06:23:24 PMAgree with this, although as someone going through LL right now, the pain of the process and the temporary inconvenience of disability is nothing compared to the profound emotional pain and shame of height neurosis.

I agree about your comparaison, but it is really a different kind of pain 
As a woman, I imagine the emotional pain was less harder than a man... But for me, working in a mostly men work, it was too hard to ignore it.
Personally, without Tramadol i could not have done all this process... Even more if you have to continue to work...

But still 1 year is f*cking long... Can someone tell me if he/she has been in the same situation than me?

Hi there- happy to discuss in more depth off line. LL rehab doesn't necessarily have to be painful. Most of my clients do very well pain wise. There are a number of "levers" to pull to help manage the pain during lengthening.

There were couple of instances during lengthening when I thought of giving up. I'm glad I had support from my dad who pushed me to reach my goal. Now I regret not doing full 8cm !!

Pain, tightness, bent knee, duckass etc. etc. does go away! If anyone is in lot of pain, take those damn painkillers. You can get off meds easily during consolidation.

Recently gained 6.9cm on femurs with precise. I'm at 5th month post op.

Yes, both legs at same time. My lengthening period was about 75 days for 6.9cm (I missed some distractions due to nerve pain and travel).

Yes, a lot of people unfortunately has to stop due to the pain.
a guy who did it with me stopped at 3 CM LON femurs essentially due to the pain.
The pain is really not predictable, hit everyone differently, at the same time people have different pain thresholds of course.

do not regret not doing full 8 cm... i've done 8.5 cm and i wish ive stopped before... Faster recovery and more proportional... i understand why doctors always say max 8 cm... 8 cm is already too much... i wish i have stopped at 7 cm

Quote from: readyprecisestryde on December 13, 2022, 07:51:11 AMOne guy @ Paley gave up in one  month and only grew less than couple of centimeters. He couldn't handle the pain and flew back home.

That's pretty beta...and a very expensive mistake, he clearly didn't have real height dysphoria.
