So this is probably a very stupid question but have there been any recorded cases of patients losing any height after nail removal? Logically I don't see how this is possible if the bones have completely hardened but I heard rumours of some who claimed to lose a few mm after the nail was taken out. Has anyone who had their nails removed noticed any difference?
I constantly hear of this sheer stupidity on the forum. I have asked my doctor to which I was basically laughed at and I do not blame him haha. In what logical sense would you lose height if a bone is healed?
The only reason this could be the case is,
A) Height was measured incorrectly at the beginning.
B) Height was not measured on the X-Ray but instead based on the number of turns.
C) Height measured at morning but then measured mid day or night time after lengthening.
I mean, assuming that everything went well and you did not suffer any serious complications the gains will remain. No one I know in real life has ever reported a loss of gains.
