I lengthened 1.33 for a while, based on doctor's orders.

1) how often do you x-ray post-op??
2) if you lengthen too past, are there more complications you feel?

They did it once a month in Beijing.

If you lengthen too fast, you'll feel more pain and might be at risk for non-union, so only do it if your bone growth is really good.

is it too early to do x-rays 10 days after surgery? (ie, after 5 days of turning)

No, in fact they might want to do them that early to make sure you're not having premature consolidation.
