RE: Lengthening legs/shins

Try surgical limb lengthening. I'm going to do it some time in the near future if I don't hit 5'10 by 21st birthday. Let's hope I dont have to go through a year of immense pain for three inches. If only I could add inches to my height instead of being so long down there.

Starting Height: 5'5 7/8 (Jan 2008)
Current Height: 5'8 1/16 (November 11, 2008)
Goal Height: 5'10 (70 in)
Dream Height: 6'0 (72 in)

RE: Lengthening legs/shins

That's risky for one and yo're stuck in bed for months after to heal.

Set up a routine from advice here that's flexable for you and eat right. There is no need to go to that extreme at 18, even if you are female. As I have said, it is possible for girls to gain height at 18 and in a few years past... eat right, get enough sleep, and exercise. It may be only an inch or so, but if nothing at all, you tried and will have toned up and lost weight from "dieting" (cutting back in junk).

Best of luck.

Age: 18, female, Caucasian
Starting height: 5'2" (November 2nd, 2008)
Current: 5'2"
Goal height: 5'4"
Dream height: 5'5"
mom's height- 5'3
dad's height- 6'

Fully aware this totally changed.

Why only 5'4? Because Idina is 5'4... =) Juuust kidding.
Kind of.

There's a possible chance for getting an infection.
