Post Op day 21: I feel some numbness in my left leg. I am already bored with this: Physiotherapy every day at morning, at evening. Last saturday we went to the pool. I also started to do elliptical. I'm 3.5 cm now.

I mean, you are an adult... you can do what you want. But why wouldn't you? It's the only fun I've had for weeks... Since the pool handles all your weight you can be free without worrying about "bending the needle", "breaking another bone" etc
I think I would rather stay in bed and sleep lol

Most of us can't sleep properly so that's not an option for us. Also, what's the point of having a weight bearing nail if you don't bear weight. Finally, if you stay motionless, you feel stiffness and over time you'll have reduced range of motion.
Day 30 post op. Nerve paresthesia is still there though is low in intensity. Pain is bearable, low-mid intensity and resolves with analgesic. Still a little pelvic tilt (duckass), I worry that it may cause me back problems afterwords. I am 4.3 cm. Today I took x rays
I'm trying but can't upload the x rays

LLSOuth do you consider Nerve paresthesia as a minor complication or its normal in LLer's mind?

To tell the truth when I started feeling paresthesia, I considered stopping lengthening. I even reduced the number of clicks and started taking vitamin B12 supplementation. The doctor assured me it is normal and very far from paralysis. Still, I was not satisfied and wanted to do an electromyography. After speaking with a lot of past patients, they all told me they felt numbness, electricity, stabbing , some in the same region as I. They all told me it stopped days after lengthening. Nowadays, the paresthesia is still there but not painful.

How much are you lengthening a day? You say you did a x rays 4.3 seems like a lot for 30 days.
