Hey guys, just wondering does the process get much easier after distraction is over and done with? I'm hoping to be finished lengthening in a couple of weeks but my legs are very tight and weak and I'm still a long way off walking unassisted.
Thanks guys. Yeah at the moment it feels like one step forward and two steps back with lengthening. Does sleep quality improve at all or does that take longer to get better?
Thanks @Medium
@Bones truly inspiring words. Everything you described is what I'm going through right now, my legs, butt and back are a mess of different pains. I've been feeling a little down lately but it really gives me hope that my body might gradually get back to normal in due course like you mentioned.
Thanks guys! Can't wait to get the lengthening finished, hopefully it'll feel less of an uphill battle after that.
I'm planning on possibly going about 5mm more above my original goal. Would it be easier on my legs if I lengthened 0.5mm per day or is it better just to get it over and done with quickly?
Thanks @Medium
@inches I appreciate the heads up, I guess everyone's body responds differently. I'm only doing 2 inches on femur so I'm hoping this might help with a quicker recovery but you never know with these things. Do you mind me asking who your surgeon was? Have you been stretching/walking every day since the surgery?
Sorry to hear that inches, still though the time will soon go in and you'll have your full mobility back. Was it the Fitbone you had done? Did you choose that over Stryde or was it not available at the time?
