keep on fighting!!!

You are lengthening on a ratio of 0,08 mm/day. In a few days you have reached the goal.

is it the pain worst in the final cm?

Good travel to your country.

KrP1 · « **Reply #94 on:** November 16, 2015, 11:59:17 AM »

Im going to start doing 1mm and see how it goes.
No. For me now is less painfull. Its less painfull since i did the break of three days in my lengthening.

Hey KrP1 !

Glad to hear everything is fine with you bro! Yes, leaving MICs was hard for me, too.. Miss those times just lounging around in the pool with you and chatting about LL, hahaha.

Take care, and good luck with the final lengthening!

Im at 6.5cm now. From 5cm to now the lengthening has been very easy . I dont feel much tension and i dont need any pain meds.
Im doing intensive stretching 3 times/day . Walk and swim in the swimingpool every other day. And bicicle for 15 minutes every day.
Im still in the wheelchair.
Proportions look fine now but for what i can see im near the limit.

KrP1 · « **Reply #100 on:** December 07, 2015, 01:59:30 AM »

I have finished my lengthening at 6.7cm

I have decided to not do any more because my femurs look long right now and i care about proportions and aesthetics.
The change in height is very noticeable. I can compare my self with my family and them and i could see that im much taller than before.
Im doing very well right now. I use the walker to move in my home. Now its time to recover.

glenn · « **Reply #101 on:** December 07, 2015, 02:02:57 AM »

Congrats! Great to hear you're doing well, buddy! You're almost at the finish line, just need to recover. I'm so happy for you. Time goes really fast when you start using the walker and crutches.

Alu · « **Reply #102 on:** December 07, 2015, 03:39:15 AM »

Congrats, I commend and congratulate your achievement and decision to stop at 6.7 for proportion sakes. At your current height you're in a good position anyways; you might be considered short but you're no longer objectionably short and are taller then most girls now.

But this also begs the question from me, would the extra .3 cm be noticeable in this regard or was it just like "eh I'm close enough and rather not continue"?

Either way congrats.

I think that the 0.3 mm arent going to change my height in anything. No one can notice that. But im at a point where i dont want my femurs to look any longer. 0.3mm will be much more noticeable in the femurs than in my total height. So it is not worth it.
Cheers

Congratulations buddy. Very happy for you. Now just focus on recovery. Recovery is very annoying and it's going to feel like it's taking a lot longer than it should...but take it from me, recovery WILL happen, and you may not get a "full" recovery until the rods and screws are taken out (for example, my left hip/glute medius pain and very slight hip sway won't resolve until the nails are taken out).

Just hang in there for now, and don't do anything stupid

Hello KrP1,

Believe it or not, I only discovered your diary right now! I asked Glenn to confirm who you are.

I am very happy about your completion; it feels sentimental to observe my fellow lengtheners terminate their experience too. We are the graduating class of Autumn 2015.

Be Well,
Bohemia

KrP1 · « **Reply #106 on:** December 11, 2015, 10:24:17 PM »

I have been measuring my height the last days but my height gain didnt match with the lengthened amount. im shorter than what i should be. so i have decided to do a bit more.

Tallexpectations · « **Reply #107 on:** December 18, 2015, 08:33:07 PM »

Update

I continued my lengthening. The gap finally shows an increase of 7.8 and 7.6cm. You have to discount the magnification of the xrays . It is supposed to be around 7%.
I have very good callus formation and In my opinion if your bone is hard the fitbone has difficulties to lengthen and maybe it will not get the full 1mm per day. I dont really know if this is the way it is in reality but is my personal opinion so i can be wrong. I say this because finally i had to do more lengthening than the gained amount.
Im 172cm from my measurements when i wake up inmediately from bed. So my gained height is something between 6.5 and 7cm.
Im in the consolidation phase and 4months and ten days post op.
I have been walking unaided for around 10 days know.
My walking is improving but it is not normal yet. It is slowly than it was before surgey because i have muscle tension but i think that its good for a little more than 4 months post op with the amount i lengthened.
Im working hard in my recovery stretching 4 times per day ,doing elliptica and some exercises to get more strenght.

Cheers KrP1

KrP1 · « **Reply #109 on:** February 11, 2016, 09:39:31 PM »

5 months post op.

Hey guys! New update at 5 months post op. Im doing great . I can walk long distances now without getting tired. My walking is not 100% normal now but is improving and most people will not notice the limping when you are walking in the street. I can see how it changes for the better. The principal problem to walk 100% normal is muscle tension. It needs time for the muscles to adapt to its new length. But i could notice how this is happening because now my legs are more relaxed than 3 weeks ago.
Going upstairs is dificult but i can do it . Going down stairs is the most dificult thing.
I dont have any pain now. And im doing relatively normal life. Im very confident that im going to recover to a good point in the next months.

Cheers

post videos walking

i'm a tough skeptic.

doesn't have to be using stairs.... but walking at a normal speed, and try at a fast speed... can block out face

going down stairs is hard for everyone... it's ridiculous how long it takes to start doing that again

KrP1 · « **Reply #111 on:** February 11, 2016, 11:19:45 PM »

Normal speed is fine with little limping. Fast speed is still very dificult . I think that you need to be 100 x 100 to walk very fast

crimsontide · « **Reply #112 on:** February 11, 2016, 11:42:12 PM »

yes... thats the problem though

will we ever be able to go at a fast speed?

when not 100%, walking is a chore... walking 2 miles is not fun when you cant walk fast

Congrats man! Thanks for sharing, nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

At what point were you completely pain free?

About 3 weeks post lengthening my muscles relaxed to a point where i dont feel disconfort.
Real pain is the first month after surgey when you move your legs. After that is more a big discomfort due to stretching.

Thanks! Hope you don't mind me asking, how was your flexibility a month post lengthening? And now? Can you touch your bottom with your feet?

I did never do that exercise.
Pre op i had good flexibility because i was preparing my self for the surgery for a lot of months.
One month post lengthening my flexibility was clearly less than before surgery.

Have you done any progress in walking down/upstairs?
Are you able to live in your parents house now or do you still live in your rented house?
Can you jump softly up and down? Can you do squats without weight extra weight? Can you run slow for like 50 meters?

Congratz on your new length!!!
How much does it cost to take out your nail? And when will you do that?

Hey! Yes i have done some progress . I can go upstairs easy. Downstais is more difficult , i can do it but if some one looks at me doing it , he is going to notice that i have problems to do it.
I can walk fast now.
I didnt try to run , jog or jump. I think it could be risky and that i could cause some damage if i do it.
Im living alone.
I can do squats without extra weight but i cant go as down as before without loss of stability.
I have done x-rays some.days ago and everything looks ok. No problems.
For nail removal i will wait at least one year and a half or two years. I dont want to risk any fracture.

Cheers

Hi KrP1
I am glad you are progressing.
If I may ask, how much time it took you from the start of walking to the point of walking normally?
Also, did you improve your walking following a certain routine /exercise?
