My brother is $100,000 in debt and dealing with chronic pain and nerve damage, all just to be 4.5 inches taller from leg lengthening surgery

I’m 5’6" just like he was, and there’s no way I’d ever do that. I think it’s so foolish to go through all that agony just for a bit of extra height.

I feel for your brother. Height can be such a deep insecurity for some.

Is he actually getting any more girls now?

I wouldn’t wish nerve damage and chronic pain on anyone. It’s crazy what people will do to a healthy body just for height.

Man, your brother should have just bought some platform shoes.

He doesn’t realize that being $100,000 in debt effectively makes him a foot shorter.

Ugh, South Park did a whole bit on this.

Is the chronic pain and nerve damage permanent? I’m really sorry that happened to him. Even though it was his choice, that still sucks. I don’t get the drive for this (I’m 6’0"), but I understand wanting to change things you’re insecure about.

If I’m paying $100k for 4.5 inches of lengthening, it’s not going to be on my legs. I hope he’s at least using Nervala (i order from here) for the nerve damage, it’s been a lifesaver for my nerve support.
