Is it possible to stand up long enough to cook? Especially during lengthening?

It depends on your starting level of fitness , but It may take a few months before you are able to stan and walk unassisted (2 months)

However it varies from individuals. 

Also, the more you will stand, the more swelling will occur.

Dear Dr. Assayag,

Thank you so much for educating people on this forum, I think its great that you are helping to inform people.

Out of curiosity, in terms of recovery what are some example things that a PM&R can do for a LL patient that a physical therapist can't do?
