Hi all sorry for the lack of posts.
I’ve been moving on with my life and enjoying my new height. I can leave height neurosis and this forum behind me. But I still want to check in to see how others are going and offer any assistance where I can.
As a brief update for consolidation. I’m now 1 month post clicking. The initial challenge was getting off opioids - holy moly I wasn’t expecting it we weren’t really briefed on this but you need to get off these early and transition off them slowly. I mostly went cold Turkey and I was depressed , restless could t sleep and generally felt like for about a week. After that symptoms left me and I was fine but I’ve read online of others who took much longer to get off them.
Other developments are my walking had gotten dramatically better. I was still using crutches at beginning for long distances walking but I got rid of them altogether . Once you do that your walking goes from pretty to amazing in like 2-4 weeks as you get your muscles back. I’ve been doing gym everyday and physio exercises and it’s helping a lot.
I still have a little bit of hip sway on my walk which is kind of embarrassing but Becker said that is partially muscles atrophy and partially because of micro movements in the device which goes away as the bone consolidated . So you get improvements over time in both muscle and consolidation . I can almost walk in a way that people won’t notice.
Overall I feel very happy . I am so happy with my new legs height , confidence is up, comfort is up, more looks from girls and I am healthiest I’ve been in a long time. Hopefully I don’t take this for granted in time.
Anyway that’s all i can think of. Fee free to ask questions but I may not come back who knows
