I was 5'4 at age 13 (this is 13 years ago
now). In 3 weeks I grew exactly 10 inches
to 6'2. (I remember making the marks for
my height with dates on the wall, I had to
show people that didn't see me alot for
them to believe it. No one that didn't see
me everyday believed I grew that fast)
First question is, isn't it uncommon to
grow that fast and that much in that time?
i've always wanted someone to answer this
but back then the internet wasn't so
involved and I have not thought about
using it to ask this till now lol.
When it was happening I remember lying in
bed for hours from back pain mostly,
screaming pain, for 2 weeks. A little pain
in the knees too but not much. I have
stretch marks to this day on my back from
it, from the middle lower to the middle
upper back. they're few but big marks in
width and height, almost invisible now
however. After the spurt, besides being
extremly skinny til I filled out, health
wise I had no pain or problems.
thats the first question.
2nd, I'm getting non stop pains in the
neck. It may be from being on computers at
work sitting all day. But it doesn't seem
to go away over the weekend when I'm all
over the place. When I wake up my neck
cracks enough times with one left to right
bend to impress a japanese firework
manufacturer, although that seems to
relieve my neck and doesn't hurt. Recently
the pain has extended from my neck to my
jawline when I turn my head. I was
wondering what could be happening here.
And what I could do to help stop it now
that it is spreading.
And to connect the 2 questions to a 3rd.
Can these two things be related at all?
The neck pains have been here for years
but not til 5 6 years after my spurt.
And what the heck, I might as well ask a
4th question. (off topic but the last of
my rare medical questions that has
happened to me in life)
In boot camp for the Navy the tear gas
didn't effect me at all.
At first I held my breath trying to act
like I was breathing but I was called out
on it and forced to breath, first threw my
nose..... no effects (while watching
everyone around me cough and throw up).
Then I started breathing threw my mouth,
still no effect, not even my eyes watered.
I've heard this has happened before but
also a very rare occurance that I never
had answered in detail. If anyone can give
info on this too please do
.
