Sitting and Working During LL
« on: February 21, 2015, 10:11:36 AM »

Hello everyone,

I think I'm in a good position to do LL since I make my living as an internet marketer. How comfortable (or uncomfortable) is it to sit down while doing LL? I hate working while lying down, so this is important. I'm also thinking about taking my monitor and buying a good office chair to wherever I plan to do LL.

I also read that it's hard to focus while having the external fixators. How true is this? Has anyone managed to focus enough to work?

My quality of sleep is also important. Is it possible to take sleeping pills and have a near normal 8-hour sleep cycle?

Thank you for your responses.

sitting is easy.

the problem is that your not really suppose to keep your legs bent for massive periods of time. that is how the ligament shortens. prolonged bending of the legs which will cause shortening of the ligament results in the ligament actually shortening causing contracture. 

I don't know how many hours would make it detrimental to keep your legs in a sitting position but certainly there wont be any pain, in fact bending your legs causes less pain.

the trick is your job is to be constantly stretching the legs to make stem straight so as to fight ballerina and knee bending.

certainly you can bend your legs for hours each day and have no problem. but for how long exactly I don't know. but my doctor has made comment on people who have problems because they work all day in a sitting position.

second. sleep.


eheheheheheh good luck :)

the first month will be painfull.

if you don't slow down to 0.5mm later on........ heheheheeheh good luck

I guess what im saying is this part is up to you. the speed you go at will determine the pain you feel. and how much sleep you get.

either way the first month you need to go at a good speed and your body is adapting to the stretching, some muscles resist the stretching a lot in the first month. so expect sleep to be hard during the first month. at least that's what I found.

I did not take sleeping pills so perhaps that will make it easy. ask someone else on pills. I have no experience there.

I really cant answer this.  it all depends on the person.

That sounds very comforting! It would be almost like if it didn't take me any time to do LL since I spend all of my time on my online business anyway (and school). What about sleep?

sleep is very good cos I am on tramadol and lyrica. both medicines do make you sleep easily (though your mind is sharp).
