Stryde does make a significant improvement in muscle stiffness, mobility, faster regeneration etc. (just quoting paley here). In addition he was struggling with a lot of private issues, juggling his own company on the side. And he was 33. So not exactly a good comparison

You act like you still won't be significantly disabled with quadrilaterals stryde. You will be. Idgaf if your rods are made of bedrock or netherite you're still fked after you break 4 bones

Go ahead dude. Do it if you want to. I'm giving you the realest advice here, feel free to ignore. You definitely need to read more diaries first before making a decision- I'm telling you that you're making a big mistake.

Stryde isn't magic, you may think it is but you're still breaking 4 bones brotha

He has actually gone and met the doctor and decided on a plan. Unless you have personal experience, just let him do what he wants to do. As he said, if after 3 weeks it is very very difficult, he wont get the other segment immediately obviously.

Most surgeons will be booked up more than 3 weeks in advance so might be difficult to change plans.

There are some people with immense pain thresholds, I know people on here all like to think they are in peak shape, can tolerate any pain but the odds are you are not. There are a few patients who come in with broken arms and legs that don't really feel it, get anaesthetic injected into break sites, get the break the manipulated and are indifferent to it but they are the minority. If you are not one of those people this is going to be difficult.

Why would you want to do quadrilaterals? You understand that you're not just stretching your bones but also your soft tissue? It's insane to me that people would do quadrilaterals in the same year. You are basically pushing your legs to the upmost limit. Your body is literally crying in pain for months. You could just do one bilateral then wait a year or two post-op then do the other segment.

100% agree with ghkid2019.  Don't do quads.  If you're doing quads, you will most likely not make it over 8 cm.  If you read any diaries in this forum you will realize that quad patients have suffered a ton and also not gotten the initial height they wanted. 

Anything over 8cm, you without a doubt will have to space it out 1 year apart femurs and tibias or do quads for 8 cm and rebreak next year to get more length after you heal.

Two things, first, did you actually go through with it? I don‘t know the surgeon maybe he is great but I wouldn‘t feel safe going with an unknown surgeon especially for quadrilateral but who knows take this with a grain of salt.
Second, @ghkid, Paley actually told me his option 3 is very popular (quadri) and he didn‘t try to talk me out of it or anything he thinks it‘s quite safe. However, I actually rather want to do femurs first now after talking to other doctors and reading diaries. I think it‘s too hard to do for me especially with precice2.
