Did u even lengthen in a very fast rate
What did u have for tibias? LoN? Precice?

The toes pain started from the second week, less then 2cm, and 0.99mm per day.
Before the lengthening started, after surgery my heels pain very much every night, like many needles stabbing. After took vitamin B1+B6+B12 some days, heels pain is gone, but toes pain even I still take vitamin B everyday.
Now the doc is giving Pregabalin, I'll use it after I get it.

Quote from: saltedchocolate on April 06, 2023, 02:45:54 PMpossibly because you're lengthening at 1 mm/day.
try to slow down to .75 or even .05

i'd say stop lengthening for 3-5 days, once the pain subsides, start lengthening at 0.5 and then 0.75

don't do 1mm

forgot to mention, the pain only happens if I keep my legs straight and hold for a while (like 20 or more minutes), it starts. So if I sleep with benting my knees, no pain. But I don't know if sleep with benting my knees would allow me reach the goal (6.5cm)

After I kept my legs straight for a while, if I try to bend them, the knees pain. and sometimes if I want to straighten them pain too. I need do it very slowly, don't know if something about Patellar tendinitis or not. But I only in my 2.4cm now and forgot when this pain starts.

btw, I already decided reduce the goal from 7cm to 6cm after the same day I posted this then read a lot of posts here. just for the safety. and I was planning to do second surgery for 8cm, reduced the goal to 7cm too.

Quote from: LengtheningDream on April 09, 2023, 08:51:51 AMDo you have to use a caretaker?

I think you will need a caretaker for first weeks. But after you can easily bend your knees it's okay by your own.

Quote from: Eieiron on April 09, 2023, 09:09:09 AM6cm is the max number for precice2 tibia patient, how to get 7cm with precice?

You mean for the nail? The max number is 8cm, nail limit.

After I read 9 hours in this forum, the limit of your lengthening should be your body, your soft tissues, if you started foot drop, you should stop, even if only 3cm, otherwise you are trading off your functions for height, and in opposite, if you reached 6cm without foot drop and lift 15 degree, you can safely continue to 7cm, and if you still can lift 15 degree, you can continue to 8cm without problem. According to a Paley's patient quoted what's Paley said, it makes sense after all.

As I said before:

I'm going to try to do 6cm, if I don't have foot drop and can lift a lot, I will try to do 6.5cm.

First 2 or 3 weeks would be enough and depends on your recovery, for most speed is first 2 weeks.
