Once ballerina is gone using them in moderation would probably be fine. But definitely not before surgery you wanna stretch your hamstring as much as possible at that point
I get pain in calf's Id probably have to be more careful which is why I want to do 4cm. Maybe wait 9 months at least before using them 2x a week.
Yea that sounds reasonable but I really don't know I've never worn lifts and I'm still lengthening I would assume it all depends on your ballerina. You might not even get it I'm st 4cm and nowhere near ballerina.
Yeah heard you get ballerina after 3 cm if you don't exercise, stand up daily but I imagine past 6 cm you're going to be getting it either way.
We shall see one can only hope lol

Yes you have. I'm telling you - the physios don't know anything. They haven't done this. They don't understand. I did it. I know. I've been to many top physios all around Europe. I'm well educated in this particular.
You can't feel it when you're in frames. You get your heel down and that's fine.....
But it's not.
You need to stand up - and that, every day!!
I was told the day before my frame removal that I didn't have ballerina.
Quick update:
I'm at the 4cm mark no complications so far pain is still very minimal mostly only when I'm trying to fall asleep. My sleeping patterns have improved although I really miss my Caucasian food back home, a lot of food here is quite spicy and I'm not a fan of spicy. I slept on my stomach for the first time last week it felt great. I still do physio 3-5 times a day not including the time the physio comes to see me. I was told that I would be going for an X-ray in the next 10 days so I'll post my results from that. Scarring on my legs has significantly gone down too in the past couple weeks. Unfortunately my grandma hasn't been doing very well health wise lately and depending on her predicament as they move along I may cut it short I would like to see her before she passes but we will see.
Do you feel taller when standing.
I can't stand yet the fixator can't support my weight but when I put my foot on the ground I've noticed that my knee comes up higher then it used too. Also just looking at my tibia it looks longer then before good feeling to have 
4cm is quite significant. You will definitely feel taller. Glad your doing well and thanks for the regular updates.
