I do not wish to disclose personal information.
I'm 37 from Europe.
The surgeon is not one of the celebrities...
Anyway, I'm at 3cm today.
I did 1mm per day BUT, it wasnt in a consistent rate, because I had days with pain which made me stop. If I make an average rate of lengthening during this whole time (1.8 months) I think it's about 0.6mm per day.
Pain: pain was horrible at the first 2-3 weeks. I can't really say if the pain was related to the lengthening, the trauma of surgery, or an infection I may have had.
Infection: one pin was looking bad immediately after surgery, two weeks after surgery I started iv antibiotics for two weeks, but the pin site still looked bad so I had a surgery to replace that pin. So of it was a pin site or pin tract infection, I guess ill never know.
Sleep was bad for the first month. Especially because it's very uncomfortable. It gets better though as the general pain decreases and you can sleep on the side etc.
PT: I do my own exercises, for tibia basically its dorsiflexion and knee straightening. I never got ballerina foot but I also didn't lengthen too much and at a slow rate overall...
