I was reading shyshy's diary and in the later x-rays he posts of his femurs on the 1st page, it appears that the new bone is consolidating as a mass that bulges out wider than the rest of the bone...if that bad? Avoidable? or is that just scar tissue or stretched muscles or something?

It didn't happen to me; my new bone is the same thickness as the rest of the leg.  It might be a femur thing.

It's probably due to an effect called supercompensation. The body adapts to the damage by regenerating more than initial amount. Building muscle after working out is based on this phaenomenon, the body regenerates the muscle tissue and adds more to it in order to prepare for new stress (caused by another workout).
Or like the extra scar tissue that stands out of the skin, built after a deep cut for example.

There are some X-rays where this can be blatantly appreciated and its horrible. Apparently, it's a side effect of LL.

If anything, a bulbous shape of regenerate is good. What you don't want is regenerate shaped like an hourglass where it's thinner in the middle.
