Title: Femur lengthening with Achilles tendinitis
Post by: Sambollio on March 17, 2021, 02:11:04 AM

Hey guys I’m planning to do a femur lengthening once and if Stryde becomes available again.  My issue is that two years ago I had a partial rupture of my right Achilles’ tendon. It never fully recovered, I get somewhat tight in the mornings particularly after walking a lot the day prior. It also caused my hamstrings to tighten. If I can increase my flexibility to the point I can put my palms on the floor while standing with my legs straight will this still be an issue?

Similar inquiry as to mine. I suspect I have early rheumatoid arthritis and would like to get this done ASAP if I will already deteriorate in the future
