I've got titanium nails (controlled through magnet remote) in bone which helped me increase my height from 5'8 to 6'2 my dream height.

The method is called distraction osteogenesis where bone is cut obliquely and distanced 0.8mm a day.

I got both femur and tibia through the procedure in both legs to preserve the biomechanics which have to do with the femur to tibia ratio.

That said i don't feel anything. But this change has tremendously helped me gain confidence. So, my atheletism isn't affected in anyway.

I always had technical competence but was sidelined because of my lack of confidence due to my below average height.

I saw some really tall guys without any degree getting the role which i had experience/qualification for without any issue.

Today, I am a CEO of a small company and no longer insecure :)
