Thank you Singapore! CLL is a very special process of the mind and body. I wish you the best also and will be following your diary. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Day 33 - Journey Continues... 2 more days to 1 inch! [2.277 Centimeters Taller]
Greetings LL'ers,
Just wanted to check in and say hello. Today was pretty decent. Here is my status
Pain: While resting - 1 to 3 While walking 2 - 3 Stretching and pushing my PT - 4 to 5. Taking Tramadol every 4 to 6 hours. As I push toward the 3cm mark, I can feel some pain immediately after lengthening. It's a dull pain and it goes away about 1 - 2 hours after lengthening
Activities today: Worked 8 hours, worked out for 1 hour, rested, and mainly stretched and did PT
Flexibility and movement: I can walk with tiny baby steps, unassisted. Unfortunately, my right leg is a bit sore at the moment; so it's hard to really gauge what I can do. Overall, need to build strength in legs. Using walker, fairly effortlessly. I can still straighten my legs and I have about 120 degree bend in the knees. I'm going to keep pushing it!
My Goal: 6.5 centimeters (2.5 inches) I will go higher than this if I am physically able.
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! Have a great rest of your day.
awesome update bro! hope everything keeps going well for you
Dear InFullStryde
Thank you very very much for detailed diary everyday 
It’s really exciting to read this!!!
Do you use dorsiflexion boots at night?
LL veterans say these boots are tough to sleep with
How do you manage sleeping with them?
Good update Fullstryde. I am curious about the working out part as I am also interested in training my upper body during this process. May I ask what kind of exercises did you do? Do you think its possible to train with weight at this stage? I want to work on my chest. Thank you!

Hi Temaki! My pleasure to keep everyone updated! Since I am lengthening my femurs; I don't believe the boots are needed. Currently, I just stretch and walk with walker as much as I can tolerate. I also get deep tissue massage for my upper legs 3 times a week to help break down restricted muscles. My sleeping was pretty bad for the first 2-3 weeks, but now, I'm so tired that I fall asleep pretty good.

Hi Singapore! I know what you mean about wanting to work out. I have lost several lbs and some upper body muscle the first 3 weeks. I am starting to work out again. I use this tool for my upper body: https://www.bowflex.com/home-gyms/x2se/100334.html?adID=DOFG2GFEED1&psearch=1&ds_rl=1261912&gclid=Cj0KCQiAheXiBRD-ARIsAODSpWNeqEp-lbTSVQpNS6umzPte_DLof3xSi6b85o0HkGMSQvOjLuxXB3QaAnNzEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
I found one used for about $799. I am able to work out all upper body safely. The key for me was to maintain and maybe do some building; but to remain 100% safe. After I am done with LL i will hit gym hard again. I think this machine will maintain me pretty good. Cables are safer then free weights, right now.
Did you ask him about stem cell treatment for all patients?
