This question is for people who are at atleast 100% weight bearing stage after getting internal lengthening done.

I recently got 6.9cm in femurs through Precise 2.2 , currently in consolidation and started walking with 30% weight on both legs.

I'm getting a bit paranoid and keep fearing that I'll lose a few mms from my gains.  

I may be putting more weight than recommended by docs during walking because its hard to walk otherwise.

My questions are -
Has anyone experienced any height loss during consolidation ?
Also, did you ask your docs to measure the gains again after you started walking unassisted ?

PLEASE ANSWER GUYS! THIS THOUGHT IS MAKING ME PARANOID

You'll either break it or nothing will happen.  Weight won't cause an internal nail to compress.

Thanks guys for your responses. I'm feeling less anxious now.
Also, thinking that I'll take it slow and be careful with weight bearing.
