I haven’t lowered my stem yet. Something I noticed is that it feels like my hands felt like they were pushing forward against the hoods. Would lowering them affect that?

I will have my height taken Thursday when I go in for another procedure but it looks like I have lost some height. I am 66 and have worn down my knee cartilage and have had 4 compression fractures in my back. It looks like I may be 5’9” or maybe even 5’8.5”.
