Question 1

I've been feeling a heaviness in my chest after I eat, and it sometimes feels like food is stuck in my throat for a few hours after. It's kinda uncomfortable and I'm worried about what's causing it. Could this be something serious, or is there a simple explanation for why this is happening?

Accepted Answer

Microfacture Surgery and Height Increase*

1. *Microfacture surgery*: This procedure is typically used to repair cartilage defects, not to increase height.
2. *Shin bone (tibia) lengthening*: This is a separate surgical procedure, often performed using external fixation devices or internal lengthening nails.
3. *Height increase*: The amount of height increase achievable through surgery varies depending on individual factors, such as bone health, age, and overall health.

*Timeline for 1 cm Height Increase*

The timeline for a 1 cm height increase through surgery can vary significantly. Here are some general guidelines:

1. *Pre-surgical preparation*: 1-3 months
2. *Surgery and initial recovery*: 2-6 months
3. *Lengthening process*: 2-6 months (depending on the method used)
4. *Consolidation and rehabilitation*: 6-12 months

Please note that these timeframes are approximate and can vary depending on individual circumstances.

Question 3

I've been having this issue where I feel a strong urge to pass stool, but once I'm actually on the toilet, it just doesn't fully evacuate. It's like I can go a little, but then something seems to block it. It ends up happening in bits over the day, like 3 or 4 times. Is this something I should be worried about, like why can't I just get it all out in one go?
