It's his body and his life. Maybe you don't understand it, but he knows his life and his body better than you.

Also, people who do this, sometimes don't want just to look taller, they want to be taller.
Thicker shoes don't change your body, CLL does.

My interest in CLL is because I want to have a tall body, I want to feel that, and shoe lifts are not enough for me, since they are not part of my body.

"Hopping to become 185 cm from 173 cm"

this is a good goal i respect you if you do it. 12cm its amazing.

Spot on, Polvoro. I may also wear 1-2 cm lifts after CLL. I feel like a happier person and can already see the difference in height when standing close to my friends and family even though it's just 3.3 cm.

Can i know the Doctor, and how much you spent for the whole.

Hi Achondroplasia2011,

I PMed you.

One thing I learned is to never overdo physio and walking. Soft tissue tear is more painful than any of the pain directly associated with wearing the frames and they take longer to heal as well.

I pushed myself to walk up a long stretch of pavement with a slight slope upwards, thinking it would help to improve my ankle's flexibility. Boy was I wrong, this damaged my tendon. I have since accepted that my ankle flexibility will continue to remain as such for as long as the frames are on, since the pins and wires inevitably have to go through your muscles and this sort of of inhibits range of motion.

My ortho said ROM will get better after frame removal and that the wires and pins cutting through muscles to reach the tibia is nothing to worry about, since the damage they cause to the soft tissues are negligible and definitely not enough to cause a complete rupture of the soft tissues.

Could I please know which doctor you went with? I am considering either Russian or Indian doctor myself. Also would it be correct to say for 3cm you have to stay in Russia for about 7.5 months?

I have PMed you the doctor. Only stayed there for a week.

So I recently noticed that my left tibia has a slight protrusion, is this normal? What can be done to correct this? It is not causing any pain or discomfort at the moment. I will only be seeing my ortho in two weeks' time.

It seems that it is the bone callus, it will stay here for a while, and then it will be reabsorbed by the body leaving the original shape of the bone.
Note: I am not a doctor.
