I just want to make a comment of your weight. Since you are only 135lbs, you may think Precice is enough for a full weight bearing. I thought so before.  However, I met a girl in Paley institute who is definitely below 135lbs.  She was doing cll with precice because she did it just before Stryde available.  She was extremely cautious about weight bearing although her weight was below Precice weight bearing.  She said Precice nails can't guarantee she is safe, it would be better for her to be very cautious.  So I don't think you can expect to walk like Stryde with Precice nails, even if you are very light.  Ask doctors to make sure.

I thought precice 2 nails were 50pds weight bearing? If I’m 125 pounds do you think I could wear bear fully or no

I forgot how much weight Precice 2nails can bear.  But actually it doesn't really matter.  For the safety concern, doctors will not allow you to do full weight bearing with Precice 2 nails even if you weigh in at only 100lb.

Full weight bearing means one leg should hold full weight. It is not like your two legs can divide your weight in half. Plus, when you walk or go stairs, you may suddenly increase your weight or pressure in one leg.  Precice nail can't gaurantee weight support for any of those circumstances.  Now as you know, there is Stryde.  No need to even think about Precice anymore.

If Stryde tibia, Donghoon is way better choice, he will probably have it in October this year.
It’s true so many are waiting, it’s better to make reservation for consultation and surgery ASAP if you wanna do surgery soon.

Temaki sushi, i wanted to ask about pure external tibia vs stryde tibia,
Look theres a Dr called Barinov in russia where i know a girl that did with him and he lengthened her tibia by 7 cm and on his insta videos its seems that the patients walk directyafter surgery while in stryde first there is knee pain for sure + drilling of bone canal and knee, so do you think in tibia its still better to go with pure external,
The issue with it is the longlong time i have frames on (1.5 years) but homegirl didnt seem to have any difficulties with that [awkward af] she even said she can sleep like how tf do u sleep with huge frames.....?
