Title: who has lost height after finishing LL?
Post by: notatroll on May 17, 2018, 11:04:50 PM

When I finished LL I was 5'9. I'm 5'8 or 5'85 now. Who has lost height after finishing LL? Other cases apart from me?

I had a bit of a scare with my recent X-ray showing a loss of height with my left leg with .5 cm...but then my last X-ray showed that I haven’t lost any height. So my discrepancy is only around 1 cm due to congenital tibia length discrepancy. The doctor also measured both my legs physically too. This was also confirmed by my orthotist.
I waited more than two years before removing my nails mainly due to scare of refracture and height loss.

I lost height before rod removal. Why?

Are you saying you went from 5'9 to about 5'8.5? Or is it a full inch?
