You should probably get remeasured and stay as long as you need to get your leg length together.

Well not the doctor himself but the assistant or the care taker Sarin comes to check up on me once in a while make sure everything looks good as does his assistant.Quote from: bander72 link=topic=3727.msg59539#msg59539 date=1476569796You should probably get remeasured and stay as long as you need to get your leg length together.

Of course I'm not leaving until my legs are even but it's very common that your legs don't lengthen at the same rate once I get to my desired lengthen for one leg I stop lengthening and continue with the other and sarin can shorten my leg for the remaining difference of lengthen a little extra if it's only 1-1.5mm difference

Update:
Lengthening is still going well just about turned for 6cm. ROM in my ankles is still pretty good not too much pain. There is some pain in my left pin site at the ankle and some pain in my right knee on the left side but I never expected this to be painless so I will endure. Closer to the end then the beginning anyways exited to go home and start my recovery. So far I've been doing good with virtually 0 complications unless you consider pain a complication. Days go by slow and my sleep schedule is still all f*cked up but it's coming to an end. As far as the food goes the less picky the better but there are many food apps that deliver to you I personally like foodpanda,FreshMenu and Zomato. You can get away with not liking Indian food but your options will be fairly limited to Italian,Chinese , Japanese, and fast food. I guess American too but that's pretty much all fast-food lol.

how many cms are you planning to do?

 Also, are you doing LATN?

Edit Post

I'm still planning on 8cm if things keep looking up as they are now and I'm doing LON i preferred that method over LATN

Edit Post

Morissette you should do 6.5 cm at most, 8 is quite a lot even for femurs.

I'm not sure I can see it right but the callus looks very dark. Maybe you should take 2 days break from lengthening.

The right leg on the X-ray picture is bent. The other one looks bent too, but the rods on the frame are straight at least.
The rods on the right frame are bent. This will cause you serious problems. You will probably get Xlegs that will cause you arthritis in your knees.
You will not function normal without tramadol if that's the case.

It looks like you lengthen way too fast.

Hopefully you're fine.

My legs have always been a little bent like that minor deformity from birth I suppose. Anyways thank you for your concern so far so good I'm taking a a break tomorrow and possibly the next day to let my soft tissue relax. Xlegs is caused by muscle atrophy in the IT band and is relatively unpredictable all I can do is some leg excersices and hope for the best honestly but so far there are no signs of xlegs and I'm closer to the end then the beginning

x-LEGS is caused by bone deformity... Has nothing to do with muscle atrophy or other bull

What? Xlegs is when you walk with your femurs extremely adducted no bone deformity? IT band and tensor fascia latae abduct your femur and when they are weakened or "shortened" it causes your femurs to cave inwards because the adductor brevis, adductor longus and gracilis muscles are exerting to much force to even it out.
Long story short it's a muscle imbalance
