I'm just Curious? When does the tightening just go away. LOL

Edit Post

Guys, As you know I'm a current CLL'er and I'm already 2 inches taller.  Thank goodness because if anyone needs some height it's me! Now, with that said...veterans...when does all the tight legs and zero flexibility just end.   Can you enlighten me.  I've had no complications..its been 2 months post Op and I'm just wondering how one feels as they transition from your legs are tight and stiff all over to.... My legs are back!

Hope all is well and love any feedback possibles.

Thank you.

Hi Jcayabo, I can imagine. Is it showing improvement?

The body will eventually adapt provided you didn't lengthen a ridiculous amount

I know a patient who did femurs with Stryde nails in Paley. 
She seemed to recover tightness one month after stopping lengthening, although she still had some tightness and her walking seemed still a little waddling with a very slight duckass.
Two months after lengthening, she seemed to have quite a normal life like shopping, hanging out with friends, etc, and her walking seemed to be much better, meaning a very minor abnormal gaits and walking in a fairly long distance like 30 min walking.
At three months time point, her consolidation was complete.  she walks pretty much normal and almost no tightness issue, although her muscle is not as soft or flexible as before yet. She can run a little bit on the treadmill.

Hope it helps you envision how you will see in your recovery.

Good luck!!   

Many thanks to both of you.   I am set to discontinue my distraction on April 1st.  I hope to be walking normal enough to attend a black tie event on June 20th.  We will see how it goes. Thank you very much and my best regards.
