Responses are never good. You and Musicmaker and all people affected should sue.

[zantac20]

It's not your business. Stop spamming.

He can't accept the fact that @helloworld is happy with his outcome  why would he sue the doctor if he is fine? he did this to gain height not to gain money.

You are right.
Outcome is good.
Doctor is treating me very well.
I gained the height I wanted.
Also, when I my Fitbone failed I got a replacement within 24 hours.

The only thing I am complaining about is that the reaction of the company once I asked for my legal right, which is a compensation for the pain, emotional pain and additional recovery time and hospital stay. I did not ask for millions as notimportant suggested but just asked for a price reduction. Instead of wanting to talk to me about it, they stopped communication and then had a lawyer write me that I am no longer allowed to write or call them and threatening with charging me for the replacement.

This is wrong and even Dr. Monegal got angry at them and had to tell them to stop this kind of hostile communication.

My x-rays from today:

I think it looks fine.
I was worried that the screws would have bent more since the last x-ray 1 month ago, but fortunately, though they are bent a bit, they are not bent more than last time.

That doctor is a wellknown liar in this forum. He lies to everybody future and current patients. He tells everybody what they want to hear and says there won't be complications and not true and hides actual complications. Everybody knows he says to you he doesn't agree with Wittenstein and to the company he doesn't agree with you. He's not to be trusted.

Zantact the company should be sued for nail malfunction but imo the doctor is dishonest and this is very bad in a doctor. He didn't inform the patients well. A doctor can't lie to his patients future or current patients.

Helloworld that nail is not weightbearing. Careful bro! Some guys broke their nail for too earlyweightbearing

they are invisible to me. I thought they would be much more noticeable. Is not something that worries me thought.

I marked them here for you to see better.
On my right leg, where the Fitbone did not fail, and I thus only had one operation, the scars are indeed hard to see.

One more reason to ask for a compensation. If you hadn't had new surgeries your scars would be better. Imagine Musicmaker after son many surgeries and she's a girl. Justice for you both!

[Body Builder]

Very nice Helloworld.
Your LL experience seems to be one of the smoothest I've ever seen although you have some problems with fitbone.

[onemorefoot]

Are you able to stand Up during lengthening? I thought you had to be in wheelchair.

[weye32]

QUick update:
I am doing very well.
Last week I was visiting Africa for 1 week, and I almost did not do any stretching or exercising. But still I improved, as before that week I was still walking with crutches sometimes or walking like a Penguin but after that week I walked pretty normally, and got a lot of comments from people that they are happy for me that I am well again.
I have reduced my exercise and stretching routine from 2 hours while at Mic, to 1.5 hours when I started at gym, to now 45 min per day.
But I still see improvements:
I am also able to dance without a problem.
I can go up and down the stairs at a fast pace.
I can do most exercises for my leg at the maximum weight (80 -145 kg) and do 100 repetition.
I can do 200 squads in a row.
I can bent my knees close to 180 degrees.
Only problem is my left quadriceps. My quadriceps were able to lift 20 kg when I started with the gym 2.5 months ago. Now, my right one is at 50 kg and my left is still at 25 kg.

Since you asked for videos, here are some:

First attempt at running fast.
I am not yet as fast as before the LL surgery but I am not sure what is wrong with my running style.

[alps]

your strides are short. I think you're not used to your longer legs. 

[Body Builder]

The reasons for this slow and a little strange running are the weakness of your quadriceps due to LL which will get better after some time and the change in the biomechanics of the foot which will not get much better.

The change in the biomechanic of the foot, even if you do tibias or femurs or both, is big and the body can't adapt because the proportions of the foot are permanently changed and that means less capability in all the functions and stability.
And of course the more you lengthen the worse it is. If you have lengthened 8cm you would have been even more slow.

Of course you'll run faster in some months but never as fast and normal as before LL.
But you look better and that should matter more than be as fast or steady etc as before LL for anyone that really want this surgery.

I think you are right, my strides are short, I will pay attention to make them longer.

Are you sure that patients post LL run slower? Dr. Monegal said I could run a little faster eventually as I have longer legs.

[LLSouthAmerica]

But when you decide to do LL, specially with long term devices such as external frames... You'll just be glad you are able to walk again, then running is a dream.

Congratulations Helloworld you are now officially a successful limb lengthening patient! Keep improving yourself not only in your height but in every aspect of you.

You think so Body Builder? I think LL of course damages your body and reduces functional reserve of muscle strength. But imagine there are a lot of untrained guys who have done LL. If they train a lot they could improve themselves to the point of being the same or better than before LL. I don't know if I'm explaining myself well.

[LLSouthAmerica]

 I think Helloworld if you were a Olympic runner at the top of your potential, you would never be as good. But if you are an average person there is still a lot you could improve by training to the point of maybe even becoming better than before LL.

[TIBIKE200]

So what is your final height? How much did you lengthen in the end?
