Parihar seems questionable now. People avoid internal tibia for a reason. Some dont want to risk knee pain

moron how exactly is parihar questionable?

you got retrograde or anterograde nailing of the femur, here the doctor chose retrograde, for probably good reasons which is between him and his decades of experience inserting trauma and distraction nails

retrograde nailing is fine and used as a method for decades upon decades, same as the tibia

what do you think happens to millions of patients when they break their tibias and need nails ? insertion through the heel? 100% is done through the tendon DUH

a properly dissected tendon parallel to the tendon fibers heals fine

muh knee pain, muh arthritis

and who avoids internal tibia? by internal tibia your dummy a$$ meant internal nailing of the tibia over the course of a Lon procedure which is probably the most popular procedure ever for LL due to cheap cost and quick removal of external fixator

bunch of professors over here

"questionable"

Yes, very questionable. No western doctor would do this unless there was a deformity

Fitbone was developed with retrograde entry in mind over antegrade, and is the primary method when using the Fitbone device.

Helpful comment. But this is problematic. Some people dont want a nail near the knee. Couldnt Dr Parihar use GNail? Maybe he should look into using GNail

Today is 72nd day of distraction, 

Fitbone has distraction issues it distracts 0.75mm where it is expected to distract 1mm, Dr Parihar still didn't suggest to increase the number of fitbone pulses,

I am between 55-60mm of distraction right now.

I think I'll have to distract for 4 months to get 80mm.

Pain is minimal, almost no pain while resting and slight tightness while doing the physio .

I am sleeping a lot , like 10-12 hours daily,  before surgery I used to sleep 6-7 hours.

If any day i don't sleep properly pain increases and muscles get tight so sleep is helping me a lot,

Around 40 mm of distraction, my hamstrings were very tight and painful. I asked a friend to gently massage them, and it worked wonders.

Now I am getting my hamstrings massaged regularly to maintain the pain, were taking care to not massage at distraction area

Are you sure? No injections to the stomach either?

This could be dangerous especially with non weight bearing nails. Just check with him, maybe you were prescribed and you missed it? Most doctors provide this for the entire period of lengthening.

I am sure you are taking Aspirine instead of Xarelto.
