Not if you include rent, food, all other extra costs. It would be smarter to just save up for internals and go back home. I know that is what i would have done if I were to go back in time.

May I ask why? It’s because you suffered a lot during lengthening phase or the longer recovery time compared to Stryde. I’m seriously considering doing LON Tibias with Dr. Halil Buldu by the end of this year.

I am perfectly fine now but the beginning was hell. It is an individual experience though, it could be different for you. Whatever you do decide Dr. Buldu knows what he's doing and you would be in safe hands.

the beginning is often the worst time - the mental adjustment to seeing ur legs voluntarily broken!!

Take a bigger hammer to it and you're good.
