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.

Yea so i use my camera on my phone to help
Turn the camera with the light on
Start filming a video
Then lighn it up
I use snapchat video so it auto deletes

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.

Maybe he went to betz; the stryde nail maxes out at 8cm otherwise i woulda tried going to 9 tbh

Honestly one of my biggest motivators is to prove for all of us that it CAN be done so that anyone that comes after me knows in their heart that it’s already been done before & if I can do it so can you. Up until now i havnt found a single diary of anyone who has safetly done 8+8
Everyone on here keeps saying its not possible
That you’ll lose function
That if you do more than 5cm in tibias its too risky
Its not risky if you stretch like you are supposed to
It is possible
I just want to be that proof to the up coming me who wants to do 8+8 but is worried that it is not physically possible
I am on track to hit 8cm in tibias ballerina and complication free

Rest assured
Things seem impossible until someone does it

Happy to hear that your LL experience is going well.  So the key to not getting caught up in issues basically is to make sure you stretch often and not slack.  I'm 5'7.5" and want to do femurs with Paley in about 2 years to take me to 5'10.5" at least then no one can call me short and I won't be turned down dating wise for my height.  I've been told I'm good looking so even though I won't be considered "tall" I should be able to get away with that height and live a more fulfilling life.   

Basically I gotta put away 90k for femurs with Paley correct?  I would love to do tibias as well but I'm already gonna have trouble putting away 90k in the next 2 years including living expenses for 1+ years while I recover.  My job is physical so I'll be out of work the whole year I'm recovering so no income.  Gotta put money aside for that. 

When I'm done lengthening basically I go back home right?  Any x-rays I can get done at home and send to Paley?  Would I ever have to fly back to Florida to see Paley personally for check ups at all after my lengthening?

The price may change in two years, but that 90k does not inlclude living expenses.  Also, I don't know what kind of job you have, but you might be able to go back before 1 year.

I don't recommend doing tibias at the same time -- if the femurs don't give you enough, go back for tibias later.  It's easier on the body and you'll get more length that way.

You can return home after lengthening, yes.

I agree with former
If you do both femurs + tibs same time max you can gain is 10cm
Femurs alone if you stretch you gain 8cm
2cm is not justified
Furthermore if you wait a year and have good work ethic you can do 5-8cm
For a total of 13-16cm

But yes it all comes down to work ethic and staying on top of your goals
The truth is MOST femur patients dont even stretch once a day, sometimes go a week without stretching its a shame that most of them fail because they didnt work hard enough

It makes me feel better to hear that as long as I do my stretching all should go well.  I have a very physicsl job in construction.  Hoping to be able to go back a year after surgery, need my strength and normal walk back if I want to get back to my job.  Hopefully I can if I keep on top of my nutrition and stretching.
