I think there is at least one good news. Some irresponsible doctor may have let you lengthen even if it will result in troubles. Your doctor will make you stop when your body need to stop.

Hang in there bro. You already did femur LL so now your muscles are tighter than a person doing LL for the first time which is why you are getting tight quickly.  Ask Paley if he can do a gastrocnemius fascia release on you to make you looser.

Thank you for all the kind words guys. I must admit, this entire time I have NOT been going to physical therapy 5x/week like recommended. This week however because they said i was tight i am back in the PT system. That + slowing down to 2 turns / day + no more flights. I was VERY swollen from flying. Last week i had 4 flights which is terrible for my body
Actually yesterday at PT my left leg got -8 degrees by myself compared to -15 the day before which is an improvement

I hear what u all are saying about safety I agree safety first. Hopefully my body can give me the flexibility required to keep lengthening, at least to 6cm. If not then it is what it is safety first but we will see what happens. Please wish me luck i need all thw prayers i can get

If I had to do LL again, i think i would have done tibias first since femurs is a garunteed 8cm and tibias is all over the place

I think you would have to stretch for like a year for it to make a real difference on overall outcomes.

I stretched for 10 months but not on the slant board :/ wish i knew the proper stretch

Anyways no time to wine
I am now officially stretching for 30 minutes slant board every hour
I do 5 minutes each leg, 3 rounds
I probably stretch 10 times/day + pt so that’s around 6 hours

I’m using tamakiSushi strategy, it’s the last hope I have
I dont want to lay in my bed 2 momths from now wishing i could come back for a chance to stretch more cause maybe i could have gone farther
If this doesnt work, at least I gave it everything i got

I’ll keep you guys updated
