If you look into real studies on HGH you'll find that it doesn't really do jack crap unless you're in some sort of recovery or still in a growth phase, they should have used a different name for it. Same goes for any kind of stretching/inversion, once you stretch then gravity will just squish it all back down. Also I don't think anyone here (apart from myself) has tried it because if you did then you'd know about how it makes you nauseated and doesn't even give you temporary height.
"Glucosamine is the only supplement that has ever been scientifically proven to increase height" what studies are you reading? When you see it for sale (at a store or reputable online retailer) it is never advertised for that because it doesn't do that at all. It's something that may help joint/arthritis issues. Glucosamine has NOT been 'proven' to increase height.
Ok do this, measure yourself when you are slouching your back and then measure yourself when you straighten your back hard pressed against a wall (maybe have someone press your chest) and check the difference. But then again Rolfing isn't advertised as something that will make you taller so it's dependent on the person, I've always had a curved back. The only problem is the guy mentioned annual 'top ups' so I'm not sure how long this effect will last, £750-£900/yr seems expensive.

1-2CM in torso height is the DREAM.

It sure is. At the very least, would be nice to maintain our morning height throughout the day. I will definitely be looking into some of these ideas (glucoasmine, rolfing, pilates/yoga) and see how I do. Even 1 extra cm would be nice.
I went back to my gym for the first time since I'd left to do LL back in November. It was a little weird being back. I remember just a few months ago, I felt this desperation and intense dread for knowing that I was going to do LL.
My gym has an elevator, so I took it right up to the main floor and hopped on the treadmill. I did about 40 or so minutes of walking (had to use the sides of the treadmill a good amount to balance myself), and today, my legs are in a good amount of pain (but it's a good pain). I still walk like a drunken penguin, but it's slowly improving (the penguin is slowly sobering up). I will walk more during my lunch break today. As I left, I ran into one of my lifting buddies. He noticed the crutches and asked what happened, and I recited the bowleg story. I think he's like 5'9-5'10", and I felt very close to eye level with him. That was cool.
Nice, you'll be running around jumping on stuff in no time. I told you, the blues would lift now that you're taller.
Thanks buddy 
I'm admittedly still somewhat ambivalent about my final height, but I'm fully committed to recovery, and I think the lingering ambivalence will get better as I recover and can actually enjoy the new height. Still have to straighten myself out too, my back is still pretty terrible. Gotta keep movin'!

I think you'll feel better about the final height once you can go out and fully enjoy it. You're certainly taller than before, so you should definitely feel better in day-to-day life when it gets back to normal!

I definitely do feel taller. Things in my apartment actually seem lower! I can almost see over my refrigerator and can reach the top shelves without standing on my tippy toes. lol. I'm just stupidly anal, and very goal oriented. So, being at exactly 5'8" in the evening before bed (which I am, according to latest measurements) is a tad unsettling only because I don't want to ever shrink below it. But then I remind myself of all the extra clicking I would have had to do (that I didn't even plan on) to get another quarter inch or whatever...probably not worth it, considering that clicking had become incredibly painful towards the end. I've now made a vow not to measure myself until my back is fixed, even though I'm not expecting more than a few mm from fixing it.
you are now a solid 5´8 bro, you will feel much better when you start to do your normal social life and notice the real difference
