Thank you for your answer, given the many complications of this surgery it's good to know that recovery could be brighter then I thought.

you said you are avereage n not tall now .. are u from a western country? america?

Yes.

Would you be interested in doing a screening test to really see what you can and can't do?

How does it feel in the mornings when you wake up and go to the bathroom? Aching ankles for the first steps? Full balance?

Can you fully squat and hop around like a frog for like a yard?

How fast are you when sprinting compared to before?(if you ever do that)

Edit Post

I have full balance and no aching first thing in the morning.  Mornings are the same as afternoons, evenings, and nights.

I can squat and hop like a frog.

I'd say I'm about 80-90% as fast as I was sprinting before LL.  Endurance is what suffered.  The tibialis anterior muscle gets tired really easily.

I just wanna thank you for still being here and supporting us water. It means alot.

If you didn't care much about athletic ability, except maybe walking fast every now and then, would you think that LL would be worth it? I'm currently 5'8 and would love to reach 5'11. Overall do you recommend LL? Also does it hurt to stand/walk for long periods of time?

Yeah, LL will probably be worth it for someone like you.

It doesn't hurt to stand/walk for long periods of time any more than it did before I had LL.

Hi MDoW,

How did it take you after surgery to start running? My walking is improving every day, but I feel like running is still far away. I had my surgery 10 months ago.

Cheers, and i hope you have very good recovery.
