Quote from: RGKEY on April 30, 2014, 08:51:22 PMYes I dream of that. But right now I need to recover, this possibility looks very far away, I have very tight muscles and I struggle with walking. If one day I recover and I get the money I will do it. I spoke to my friend and we will do it together if we do it. It would be amazing to do it together!!)) Internal with a doctor in the US, he already met him and he said it's all good. Maybe one day!?)) I need to recover but I see very little progress. Some days I feel I get worse. Once im back I will be swimming very often.
So RGKEY, are you beginning to regret lengthening 9cm on tibs? Like are you beginning to feel as if you might have pushed yourself a little too much? I'm getting very worried reading that you see the possibility of recovering very far
What does this mean? Do you have too much pain in life now? Is it something you wished you had gotten over instead? I thought LL was going to help guys like us get over our fking insecurities
Not take the mental pain and turn it into physical anguish.
I honestly hope you recover well and this bloody limb lengthening practice gets refined with each surgery so we don't have to deal with all this extra pain and mental disturbance. Please keep updating how you are feeling and whether you are getting better. Why do you think this is happening to you btw? I mean shouldn't the body just get used to the new bone?
How difficult can that be?

Hahaha!)) It is very amazing to me sometimes how I can come across to people. Hey I was probably joking, but I can tell you this, before doing LL I considered the possibility of being a handicap for the rest of my life so even if this happens how can I regret it if I knew with all my senses what I was doing))) I have pain on my muscles. Muscles do not have anything to do with bones (you are funny) it has to do with the amount of stretching. Thank you very much for your nice wishes)) I would do it all over again and again and again. Most amazing experience of my life so far, you have no idea!!!!)))))
I think I will recover, and everyone says so. But if I dont, well life is life))))
Btw, Im not the next Sweden lol and hopefully I don't become one!!! Feeling sorry for my self and how my life is misserable and blablabla... That's for pussys not for me my friend... life is beautiful and keeps moving in different directions)))
Quote from: RGKEY on April 30, 2014, 09:14:05 PMYes walk don't be afraid!!! You will not lose height. That's only fear talking, ive been there trust me!! Your pins will not bend if you are not lengthening!! They might break that's all. But u have so many pins. So you really don't needall of them lol so start walking. RRunning jumping...squatting etc!!)) Take advantage of the privilege of having Ilizarov, which is the allowance of full weight loading on your legs!!)) There are pros and cons with every device and this my friend is a big pro of Ilizarov frames))
Thank you for all the info man! I will walk as much as possible then 
Just one final question, when you say that the pins only bend during lengthening, is the reason for that because the soft tissue (muscles etc) are being stretched and the resistance from them causes the pins to bend? While in consolidation phase, they are no longer being pulled apart, so only the body weight are pressuring the pins, which they can handle.

You're a much stronger person that me. I don't think i'm ready to face the possibility of being a handicap yet, which is why limb lengthening surgery for me is still something which i'm a bit too immature for. Hopefully in the coming years i will gain that confidence and understand the importance of looking at all the possible outcomes. I just really hope you recover because then there will be solid proof that people are coming out of this better than how they started.
Yea i understand Sweden and his point of view but i do feel happy that you have taken a very optimistic take on your surgery and it's outcomes, however good/bad they be. Do keep updating us on how you are doing and how your muscles and legs are taking this new growth. Sorry about the the bones comment xD
I just hope your legs adjust as do your muscles. Take care bro.

Yes your assumption is correct))
