Quote from: MyEvolution on December 23, 2019, 04:26:23 AMFemurs hurt more in general, more pain involved, but less maintenence required to hit 8cm simply stretch 4x/day
Most femur patients sadly barely even stretch once, no lie
Tibias way less pain, harder work ethic, must stretch every hour to go past 5cm
Having now gone back to do tibias after femurs (both w/ Paley), I do agree that the tibias seem less painful and easier to deal with initially -- there's a much wider "muscle shutdown" after the femur insertion, and most of my respective pain levels seemed to be 2 less than the first time (on a scale of 0-10). However, I told this to a few folks at St. Mary's and they said it could just be that the second time may be easier since you know what to expect.

I met with Dr. Paley and Dr. Robbins for consultation couple of weeks ago and will be doing surgery on Femurs after the holidays. If you you could please send me daily stretches to do for pre surgery to help maximize my odds.
With the femur stretches, I found other people could stretch me better than I could stretch myself (obviously YMMV). If you want some help stretching and can spare some extra cash, you could consider going to Massage Envy and getting some 30-minute stretch sessions and just ask them to focus on your legs. Some of the leg stretches they do are the same as what you'll do in PT, no joke.

Thomas stretch

hamstring rope stretch
Update: JUST HIT 6CM!!
This would have marked the end of my journey as my original goal when I first started my journey was 8+6
but after learning that it is possible to do 8+8 IF you have the work ethic to back it up, WE SHALL KEEP GOING

Bye bye cane it was nice
Interesting that i’m off the cane but still lengthening!

Not sure!!
Hey MyEvolution,
How do you handle placing and operating the ERC device yourself, or do you?
On the tibias, it's far enough down that I can't easily check the placement of it versus the marks on my legs.

Okay so you know but aren't sure? Post them anyway.
Myevolution: Man, you're a legend in the world of CLL. I'm insanely motivated seeing your willpower. Can't believe once can lengthen 6 inch and still look so well proportioned. Like you I also a long torso not sure about arms though.
I have a stupid question, can we do 9cm on femurs with stryde? I know that nail can only lengthen 8cm but there was this guy on quora who said he lengthened 8.5 to 9cm.
