Quote from: ballsackoffury123 on May 15, 2023, 08:48:11 PMI did my surgery for femur internal PRECISE 2.2 about 2 months ago. Currently I am at 48mm and have a goal of 80mm I really want to reach. I lengthen 0.75mm/day. I take Xarelto 10mg every day, Gabapentin 300mg 4x/day, and Oxycodone (Perocet) 5mg 1-2 times a day. Along with a bunch of vitamins.
My lengthening schedule is 0.25mm about 3 times a day. First one when I wake up around 11 am. Second one usually 4-5 hours after. And last one 4-5 hours after around 9 pm. I stretch 30 mins per each session I lengthen and about 25 mins of strengthening exercise a day and 30 minutes of leg compression boots for blood flow.
I am just so exhausted and tired of this. I have about 45 days left at the current pace before I reach consolidation. And while I know it is not over at consolidation, it seems to be the promise land where things starts to get better (from what other people say). I have nerve pains, and my right leg has a weird range of motion loss, I'm not sure if it is from a muscle tear or what, but it's hard to turn it outwards.
Just wanted to see if anyone has any tips from what I should be doing differently from my current regime to make the last 30mm easier. I am so tired and exhausted. I'll literally pay $100k to skip the pain of this 30mm no joke.
Psychologically the 4-5.5 cm part seems to be the hardest. It's a pain in the ass to get there and you're like, f*ck, I still have half to go through. I went through the same thing. It was mentally draining. I think the only thing that got me through it was the "one more day" mentality, but it was sheer hell.
- I watched this multiple times a day. I also kept busy with watching comedies, talking to friends, etc.
Once you hit 6 cm you're gonna slide. It's easy AF. You'll get there.
Good luck man.
