Quote from: Jackieeechan on November 16, 2020, 06:58:38 PMDo you mind sharing your quad and calve size? pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Here are the numbers:
Left calf: 33.4cm Right: 33.2cm
Left quad: 47.5cm Right: 46.4cm
I hope I measured them correctly. If you have a specific way of measuring in mind, let me know and I'll double check!
Thanks for replying mate. I appreciate it. I have quad size smaller than yours. Do you think the lengthening would be less painful and easier for me?
Quads - 40cm
Calf - 33cm

I have no idea Jackieeechan. I hope others jump in and help here, especially if they know of real cases or if they know of any research related to size and pain.
I should however remind you that even if size would impact pain, there are probably other more important factors that determine the pain level. I could mention, your tolerance to pain (I am a crazy guy for dangerous stuff, but surprisingly my pain tolerance is low), your nerve sensitivity (my nerves are super sensitive, e.g., if the dentists uses one short of anesthesia for a typical patient, they have to use three shorts for me), your flexibility (this saved me; I tend to believe I am one of the most flexible CLL'ers in the whole globe!!), your upper body strength (mine is very strong for my weight), stryde vs other procedures (I am not sure, but overall stryde may be less painful - please ask others but I highly recommend stryde), and whether you would be okay taking painkillers (I tried to quit on them several times, cause I don't wanna depend on them, but I realized I could not survive the post-op without them; until I was finally able to quit during the recovery phase). There is a good chance pain level depends on which doctor you'd go for.
Overall I should tell you you would most likely end up experiencing a lot of pain. You should therefore have a good motivation for doing the CLL.
SNC,
P.S. I am a big fan of Jackie Chan. I know a lot of Chinese who do not like him, but I love this guy for his innovations in martial arts and his acting skills.
I am stretching several times a days and also started stretching my calves. The stretching hasn't helped with reducing the my numbness around my shin. Walking does help to relieve some of the minor nerve pain that I have been experiencing.

My numbness is on the front (Tibia Shin) not the calf. Is yours mostly on the back (calf) side?
While bending knees, left aches more than right when I put pressure towards 180 degrees. My right has always been more flexible since distraction times. There is a slight chance if my left leg improves to be as good as right in bending, numbness may start to disappear. If that is a correct hypothesis, then I should work on my quads.
@readyprecsestryde (rpc) Do you have a similar situation? i.e., when you bend your legs, does the leg with numbness aches more when you go extreme?
My numbness is on part of the shin only and very small amount of the calf(not much on the calf). I don’t feel much pain from it, just annoyance. Bending my knees does not bother or help it.

I don't have pain either. For most of the day, I can't even feel it, unless I touch the shin area skin. I mean while bending legs do you feel discomfort (not related to numbness) or can you bend your legs like 180 degrees?
I can't. My left goes to about 160 degrees and right to 170. I am just hoping by the time I can bend my legs completely at 180 degrees, somehow the numbness disappears.
Physical therapist measured my knees last week and my knees were bending 135 degrees. I am tight but not a lot of discomfort.

I hope we both get to 180 soon.
I remember my numbness started during the fast distraction days. That may imply the nerve got lengthened too much and created numbness. Therefore it may not really have anything to do with the callus or muscles. Therefore stretching or walking may not directly help, but my indirectly stimulate nerve repair. Sorry once gain that I am loudly thinking!

Asking this cause, I want to gain some mass overall. I am at 50 kg which is less at my height. I am planning to this surgery after 2 or 3 year, when i graduate from university.
I also love Jackie Chan, that's why I chose this name. And its also easy to pronounce.
