I haven't been on this forum recently but wanted to provide a quick update.
105 days post surgery
Amount lengthened: 8.53cm
A few things happened since my last update. My nerve pain eventually went away after two weeks and I also started taking pregabilin daily. I've also reduced my clicks from 20 to 15 once the nerve pain kicked in and continued 15 clicks until I hit 7cm mark. For the last 3 weeks, I've been clicking 12 per day. I've noticed that my body responds much better to 12 clicks - the pain level is much lower and I'm in general lot more comfortable during the day, and sleep quality has improved as well.
PT has been a bit a tricky during the holidays. My physio guy had to self-isolate due to covid and then he was out on holiday for the last two weeks of December which left me without proper PT for almost 3 weeks. At the moment, I'm still doing physio 3x week. I also started walking every other day for at least 30-45min in the park nearby as the weather permits.
Current plan is to continue clicking for another week or so and then focus on recovery. I'll shortly post a video of my walking.
