How is the pain when clicking?

Edit Post

Left was hurting a lot due to poor technique so now I pay physio extra to do my clicks for me.  He is going on vacation for 4 days soon and im traveling to that same city to continue the clicks, lol. Left leg pain down a lot.  Right is painless. Walking well with crutches.  It’s cool adjusting the crutches to be taller as you grow.  I enjoy going swimming with my friends here.

On a sidenote, I had a near fall the other day.  I was walking with crutches and  the floor was slippery and the crutch started sliding forward.  I saved myself by using my R leg to stretch forward and hold my weight.  But I overstretched it which caused a micro tear in the R hamstring.  Dealt with the pain for 3 days and now it is almost gone.

I also went clubbing last weekend and was able to navigate the tight spaces without crutches and dance.  Though if you try this, get a VIP table to rest and general space around you. Drinking with all these pain meds does not cause any reaction.

Succession of 3 clicks. To the side (external rotation) and return to neutral. No pain.

“Hi just saw your diary. Glad your surgery went well!

I've done 10cm and 10.4cm on my legs, and I somewhat regret doing so much as my right leg still needs extensive stretching 1.5 years on. I still have anterior pelvis tilt under the mirror. This can create back problems later on in life.

I would say 9 to 9.5cm is probably the farthest you should go as I've known past patients who did that without too much problems.

Given your age and weight, recovery might be slower as well. You will get a taste of this once you're near 9cm, lengthening will be accompanied by nerve pain and you will atrophy rapidly as the muscles become so tight, there's little room for them to contract.

I understand 180cm is the dream, but 2cm might not be worth a life time of regret.”

Also Betz measured wrong and I was at 169.3 working backwards (Betz told
Me 168.5) after measuring myself.  Another pt here also mentioned the measuring differential.
If that happens I will stop at 9cm.  Already have tibias scheduled with Betz.

Still doing well, I have wide leg but am working on it.  IT band is tight despite the release that was done.  No duck ass. Lengthening at 15 clicks a day or 0.75mm daily. Clicks are painless.  Walking without crutches at home.  Xrays looked good with callus growing.  Will hit 6cm gained in 4 days putting me at 175.3. Going for 10-11cm if body allows. Have tibias scheduled for Jan of '23.
