Well done!

Did you experience any pain or numbness at Tibias or ankle area during lengthening?
How do you feel now?

Just a little pain, though it is very minor and goes away with acetaminophen (Tylenol). Pain has gone down a lot over time since surgery.

I have a few partial numbness areas around my tibias, but it is not any hindrance. These partial numbness areas are slower to dissipate than pain.

Can you share more about your numbness? Do you have any video about it?

Mainly curious to know if it's gotten better/worse throughout lengthening and since you stopped.
Did you have any numbness when lengthening your femurs too? And what Assayag had to say about it? It should go away over time?

I didn't make a video on my numbness. It's just some areas of partial numbness from when the nerves stretch. When I was lengthening my femurs, it caused some small areas of partial numbness in my tibias, but not on my femurs. Tibia lengthening caused some areas of partial numbness around my tibias.

It's not painful or an obstacle, but it takes longer to go away because nerves take much longer to heal than muscles or flesh, often well over one year.

Is there any concern that it won't go anyway? Or not really?

How would you compare numbness between doing tibias and femurs? Is it significantly more when doing tibias? And did it take the same amount of time to go away?

I read it somewhere that feeling numbness is totally common and it goes away after some time but it depends on person when will it go away. When I talked with someone who did 2 times lengthening said that his numbness happened during his femur lengthening and it went away after 9 months. So no need to worry about it.

If you have recent imaging data please put it at this thread. Redact any information that could be used to dox you.

Partial numbness affects both femur and tibia lengtheners. It will mostly or completely go away, but takes longer. Like several months, sometimes over a year.

You’ve heard it and read about this controversial but conclusive topic before about height and income in the workplace. Height does affect income and taller employees tend to earn more income. Research spanning from decades ago to recently show that for each additional inch of height, the employee makes somewhere between $800 to $2000 more. Taller employees and job candidates have an advantage in finding jobs and making higher salaries.

Let’s analyze the research on height and income.
