Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or similar experiences to what I'm going through now.

Basic background:
Left limb lengthening to correct a LLD of a little over 3 cm using PRECISE 2 nail (USA).  I had the surgery late in June and am 3 months post op.  I've been done distracting for the past month and a half and after visiting my doc, he said I that I'm not consolidating as fast as he would like (have a small amount of ossification posteriorly that has only progressed a little in the past 6 weeks.  I'll be doing bone stimulation starting later this week, have been taking Vitamin D/multivitamin, and waking a decent amount. Do yall have any suggestions as far as additional supplements, exercises, sun tanning, or anything else to help consolidation move along? If things don't progress I'll have to have a hip graft/injection and would like to avoid that if at all possible.

I checked the forum but didn't see anything specifically on this. If I overlooked it, I'd appreciate a link.

Thanks.
