Doctor said based on my bone callus, it’s not preconsolidation.
2 weeks of not lengthening actually makes sense since I changed hotels 2 weeks ago and the power plug is a bit further away. So I don’t press down when I lengthen the leg. Also I’ve been just using one hand and playing the phone while lengthening.
The left right discrepancy might be due to the power plug being on my right side and so the cord is tightened when I move to left side.
Who knows I guess.
In many pics of his patients Paley shows them using the Erc1 on the trousers, even if it’s quite weird. What I can say for sure is that even a difference of few cms going down in the thigh can prevent the device to work properly. The suggestion I can give you (even if it can sound a bit rude) is to lengthen a bit more than usual to check if you feel pain. That should be the confirmation, in this way you don’t risk. You could even measure the thigh length or the discrepancy but it’s way difficult to be precise.

Thanks man. I can actually tell my legs were uneven. By sitting down on the bed and pulling up your legs. But I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me.
I’m lengthening 2mm on the left and 0 on the right for the next few days. Until it equalises. Having uneven legs has been affecting my walking (which is why I had a limp in the previous video).

That way is ok but the bed is not an hard surface so sometimes there can be some mistakes. I suggest you even to raise you thigh only while doing a Dip or do the same thing you were trying on the bed but on the floor. Another trick is push as much as possible your back to the wall while sitting in a cube, so you can check your knees. I use all these ways. I have a leg discrepancy too actually and I should solve it in the next days.
Today's video at what I think is 6.7cms.
Much lesser limp given my legs are more equal although they still differ by a little.
I feel great to be honest, almost no pain and limited tightness compared to the prior week when I was lengthening my right to 6.5cms. Right knee has become much better over the last week given I've been lengthening less.
No nerve pain.
2 more weeks to go.
Right leg is in great condition but even left is not bad at all. Generally you make lengthening looking so easy.
How you can be sure that nails were moving? Did you feel it? Even when lengthening 2 mm/day
m7liam,
Thanks for updating us. You're moving well! Super glad to know that you're feeling great and that pain/tightness is actually going down. Awesome!! Keep it up.

Thanks man.
I'm pretty sure the nails are moving because I can see the physical discrepancy lesson each day.
I don't usually feel much when lengthening so can't tell by the nails moving.
2 weeks bubba. Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel
Congrats dude
Hi M7liam,
Give us some good news.... hows ur gait ? Distraction completed ?
Regards
Hi guys. Bad news. Unfortunately when I went to xray last week, my left hadn’t moved much at all. I think the right was 7.2cms and the left was 6.0cms (this was last Wednesday).
Now issue was my left mark was 1.5 cms lower down on my leg than my right mark. So I have been lengthening higher up this week.
Will do another X-ray on Monday. If it still hasn’t lengthened I will need to fly to Greece next week to find the mark.
I do think it’s moved because this week I’ve been taking daily measurements. My gait remains unchanged as I think the extra time has offset the slower progress.
