Returning to Police Work After CLL

Edit Post

I need your guy’s opinion. Well, thoughts rather. I’m thinking (really hard) about getting CLL. The problem is that I’ve got a great career in law enforcement. Of course minus the issues with my constant thoughts about height and improving that part about me and my mental well being. I can take 2 years off without a problem. However, I want to go back to it. Have any of you returned to a workplace after recovering that has higher physical requirements?

those who achieved all of the procedures normally can even do MMA

yeah 2 years is a good timeframe for back to peak athletic ability. 1 year you can probably start running but no explosive power yet. but 2 years you can safely do those. It's not to say you'll be back to 100% your old explosive sprint, but 90% is more than enough explosiveness to chomp on donuts

How tall are you now? If your from the US I believe that you would have to be at least 5'8 in order to be an officer and that according to statistics and most people personal opinions ain't short.

(don't believe me then google it or as an example look here: http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=70539.0 )

But if you still have height dysphoria, or just want to be taller for your own sake, then hey go for it.

^ this idiot is obviously not from the US. We have all seen many police officers that are below 5'8 and even below 5'5.

If you want to heal up as like you never had a surgery then your height goals must be less than 3 inches. Like 2 inches from thighs and 2 inches from calves maybe. So your ligaments and range of motion can return to normal sooner. Most man who tries to maxout, gains the height but loses the function.

Not sure why I was called a stupid idiot. But to each their own. Yeah I was aiming for 2 inches. I’ve read a lot and 5-6 cm seems to be the sweet spot. I’m not trying to play sports or anything like that. Just get back to work.

hm are you the person who said that all US officers has a min height req of 5'8? If not, then no one was talking to you.

If you want to return to an office then yes. In any other situation it is very probable that you won't be able to cope with a demanding physically job after LL, especially in police where in an extreme situation maybe your life depends on your physical abilities.

Thanks for that. Yeah I have a more admin job. Only physical requirement is an annual fitness test. I’m not concerned with any of it except the 1 mile run. That’s what I’m worried about. 1 mile in under 14 minutes.
