Bad posture can cause pain on your back, hip, and other joints. When you do exercise or any other work, you have to maintain the right posture. There are some other causes of back pain such as lifting big bags or weights, long time desk working, long journey, bad sitting position, wrong sleeping position, etc.
Why did the person saying such crucial information just disappear?
Is it a troll?
i fking knew it..
my spidey sense was telling me all along.
Nothing in this life is free. There are always trade offs.
LL may give you short term confidence boost, but you're fking up your legs and health long term.
I recently talked to a LL surgeon who doesnt do CLL but works at gov hospital. He said patients developed artiritis even at 4 cm and there is no long term research on the effects of LL.
The reason they do it on dwarfes is because a dwarfs life is impared severely due to short limbs. They cannot function in daily life. So the risk of long term arthiritis and joint pains outweighs the current impairment.

This is fascinating! Something to not look forward to; that's for sure. Ned are you completed with the lengthening phase? I've been in recovery for 1 month and all is feeling better pretty quickly. How is yours doing? I'm looking to compare notes with another Stryde patient.

I communicated with too many people who learned so the hard way. This is a combination of feedback I received from a few people who has already done limb lengthening via both internal and external methods:
"Pain during this procedure should be the least of ones concerns....it's the lingering after effects of doing limb lengthening that people should be concerned about.
Whether that be
- nerve damage (numbness, altered sensation, painful supersensitivity (from neuromas formations),
- paralysis, or reduced motor function or response times, especially in high level sports);
- pain and stiffness from internal trauma and scarring;
- bio mechanical load changes and it's added load stresses on joints (back, hip, knees, and ankles) leading to pain and possible early Arthritis
- reduced Athletic response time and abilities;
- permanent muscle / adipose tissue damage / atrophy; mobility issues; reduced agility;
- osteoporosis and increased chances of osteochonral lesions;
- lingering aches and pains months or years, or even a lifetime after the lengthening is complete and you say Good Bye to your CLL doctor.etc."
One may or may not notice or realize it at the beginning, but long term, it's a different story.
This is not simply working out and building anew like some people put it....if it was, then there would be a whole lot less lasting complications since people would recover completely from it...
But unfortunately, Limb lengthening surgery is not like working out like how some people think it is...it's not just going through some pain and then rebuilding back stronger.
Instead, this is more like how a healthy athlete/person who gets in a serious injury, such as in a sporting accident or car accident, and has to undergoes traumatic surgery which cuts open, damages, scars (internally and externally) and alters the natural body...sure they may recover to a point...but they will never be like their PRE-surgical / PRE-injured self.

Okay, glad to hear it. Yes - things really start to get tight around 4, 5cm. Good luck, man and yes it gets better, slowly yet surely.
It's honestly irritating that users like these disappear. Unfortunately there aren't many who talk about life years after the surgery so it's incredibly difficult to evaluate the long term consequences.
Although this does teach people to think about the long term consequences when they decide how much they will lengthen

I would be really interested to hear stories about patients who had this surgery several years ago. I'm hoping with Stryde and general medical advancements that outcomes will be better - but who knows?
Yeah I'm honestly hoping the same. Stepping into the into the unknown is what makes this surgery so terrifying but for most of us it's our only chance of escaping ridicule.

Wish we had the doctor's name. Good aftercare is needed.
