Quote from: ghkid2021 GAMESTONK on January 31, 2021, 07:14:41 PMObviously if you do external Femurs, it will be torture. Semi internal = external
People who say tibia is harder than femur is referring to internal femur
External femur is the most painful and uncomfortable thing you can imagine.
I think you do not know which nail i used, Yes it was semi internal meaning there was a small hole on each femur about 3mm wide. You could wear clothes over it and go out if you wanted. Again still wouldn't recommend but its not external like you're trying to make out.
External femur equals monorails which have no internal rod and have 2 huge holes about 4 cms wide on each femur, I've actually seen it in real life back in 2012.Mine was nothing like that.
It also wasn't the 3mm holes that hurt, It was the pain in my muscles, Bone and nerves.
Anyway I wouldn't recommend HLN = Hydraulic lengthening nail.

External tibias are almost painless.
I never had any pain except from the first 3-4 days after surgery with monorails.
Internal femurs are way more painful. Maybe internal tibias are even more I don't know.
But external tibias are the least painful way to do LL by far.
@Body Builder. If the amount to lengthen is say just 5 cms, do you mean to say that one should prefer external tibias then?

Of course. By far the safest way to do LL, the least painful, the cheapest and for 5cm you are not going to have fixators for more than half a year.
Quote from: ramujp17 on January 25, 2016, 01:18:08 PMhii.. has it occurred to anyone about the big what if??. what if this medical procedure was not invented, what would u do to solve ur problem of height neurosis?? i would be looking for a genie in a bottle or magic beans if there was no way to increase ur height
Probably killed myself.
I would have been really disappointed. I would have been left with no choice but to develop thick skin.
Deep down, I would feel better if this was not invented. At least then I know there's nothing I could do. But now with the knowledge of this...even with the side effects of LL, I cant help but feel bad if I could improve but dont do.
At 5'7 and a half, would probably be better off. Could just forget about it and maximize everything else in my life
Quote from: 4cms on January 22, 2021, 06:57:26 AMBefore I married I had similar thinking to you, After LL really I was only 172 and after shoes about 175 but the truth is unless you are atlest 180cm you will be seen as short.
The disphoria atleast for me wouldn't go away until I was about 180cm which I wouldn't do by getting another LL because I would lose any athletic I have left AND my wife already whinged about my last LL and didn't want me to do it.
How is you athletic ability after the surgery, are you able to run?
Then I'd either get myself infected by Human T-lymphotropic virus I to achieve Leukemia or infected by MPTP or chemicals with similar structures to achieve Parkinson to improve my current unflexible bad situation through deteriorating my physical function for a way better mental health.
