Sorry about your situation bro. I am not sure what can be done to help you. Unfotunately, your thread is a perfect example of why so many on this board want new and especially YOUNG steroid users to research the facts before attempting a cycle. It is why stats are required and experieince requested. Finally, I have no idea if what you say happened is truly a result of AAS. You and I are not medical specialists. I would suggest getting a few opinions before coming to a conclusion. You simply may be predispositioned to be shorter.

i dont think that bone lengthening surgery is legal anymore, and it certainly wouldn't get u 6-10 cm even if it was

how tall are you?

**Pooks** · 03-25-2007, 08:15 AM

I dont believe I grew any taller since age 18 myself.
and I did not do any steroids back than.

so i feel you are really betting on some long odds, thinking you will grow taller at age 21.
Get over it..
More than likely estrogen from your steroid cycles did not stunt your growth but u stopped growing at 18 anyways, so even if you have some suspicions, I think they are far fetched.

again you are correct but dwarfs and if you have the money there is a painful procedure that can be done . it only works on the long bones of the body like arms and legs.
A large metal pin is drilled through the bone at booth distal and proximal ends of the bone. Then an erector set of a kind is attached to the pins with a device that allwos the bone the pulled in opposite directions along the same axis. this pulling causes the bone to break and fracture at millimeter a day with each break new bone is formed and over time the bone is lengthened , up to 12 inches for the long bones in the body.
I have seen several of these procedures done over the past 10 years with very good outcomes. while it be almost impossible to get the procedure done on a normal person of normal hight in russia where this procedure was developed it would just require the cash.

Snrfmaster it is still a common procedure usually done on people with limbs that are of unequal lengths. It can be done in russia on people of normal hight who would like to be taller but its not worth it it will leave scares and it hurts.

I actually find that very fascinating. But to have it done just because you feel your too short I feel is ridiculous. I saw this in that movie with Ethan Hawke.

**xtremepwr** · 03-25-2007, 08:57 PM

i thought that surgery was only for dwarves etc. Anyway its not so bad being short if your shoulders are double with width of anyone else in the room!

**Hellmaskbanned** · 03-25-2007, 09:07 PM

Is 174 cenimeters 5feet7 inches?

That shit seems crazy! I wouldn't go through all that stuff just for some extra inches.

Just work on getting bigger/wider.

Also you have a bodybuilding advantage. Easier to fill up those limbs with meat to appear bigger.

By the way I did my first horrible cycle at 18 too. Was 6'3''ish now I'm 6'5''.

So maybe you were going to be that height anyways??? How tall is your family on both sides?
