Installing height- Programdude's Precice 2 Internal femurs with Dr. Paley

Edit Post

Thats correct for someone doing 5 or so CM, unless you have quick consolidation seems a little bit quick for 8 CM, but its possible, sure.

Now you can walk unaided?

I am waiting for feedback about my x rays I just took. Hoping to hear I can lose the crutches

Edit Post

Paley has my x rays but still have not heard back anything.

This is a it frustrating, particularly because my left legs pain at the base which Paley recently said was "ts the point of stress, where the rod ends. not uncommon. most people feel it when they run. goes away and especially after rod removal. "

The one thing that concerns me is that if anything it seems to be getting worse, and is mainly a problem when lying down and lifting it as opposed to standing or walking. And not present in my right leg which feels totally 100% like a normal leg.

Its probably nothing related to bone btw, it seems to improve with hard stretching, so likely a muscle issue since it happens with movement. Still want to be walking normally so I can better use an stretch the muscle.

Sure enough, as soon as I write that I hear back my right leg is 100% healed! My left nearly fully healed(and these x rays were taken over a week ago). I was informed I could begin walking with one crutch, and I have begun doing so. Feels good to slowly be working back to normal walking.

It would have been better if both legs were 100% healed. I guess it is still partial good news that your one leg is 100% healed. Just give it some more time. Hopefully the other leg will all heal soon.
So how are you feeling in general? Are you working yet? Going to Gym/grocery store/mall? How is your life (in general) now compared to when you were lengthening? Are you having any pain that requires pain medications?

Edit Post

My comfort is incomparably better to the lengthening phase. I sleep soundly, can go out on crutches to the gym, drive, dine out, comfortably have women over. My only complaint now is boredom and the pain in my left leg, but that is very mild compared to the discomforts of the process, and I suspect will go away when the left is healed or after serious stretching. Certainly nothing even close to even thinking about pain meds.

I'm not going to grocery stores or malls because A. I know people and want to remain incognito currently and B. I can't conveniently carry items. I do drive there and have someone run in for me though.

My right is very much healed and feels totally normal in its movements. I can balance on just it fine. I've learned to walk with one crutch as Paley instructed quickly and it feels much more like natural walking.

Had my first (right) leg workout today. Very good strength considering. 100 pound one legged leg press, 50 pound leg extension, and hamstring curls/calf work. Felt very natural, and great to be getting back to fitness.
