Installing height- Programdude's Precice 2 Internal femurs with Dr. Paley

Doggy isn't great but mostly because of muscle tightness/weakness etc.

I think in a year once I build up my glutes etc. it'll feel great.

Doggystyle is awesome for me. Pronebone and missionary seem to be just fine for me as well.

But my favorite is either doggy or me off the side of the bed with her legs cross or over my shoulders (not sure if there's a name for that lol)

So it was still worth it even with a fractured leg? I think the mental toll on me thinking every ache is a sign my legs about to snap would be pretty draining.

Edit Post

Thats kind of how I feel about my right leg right now, but I got it scanned for that reason. Once I have peace of mind on that front then yes, ultimately it is worth it since otherwise I would be eating myself up every day over my height. The real question is if there was a sweet spot for stopping where I would have been happy and not suffered complications, but at least this way I'll be happy once I've fought my way to recovery.

Heard back today that the results of x'rays indicate my legs healed normally and without deformity.

Congrats PD. Whats the status on your recovery? Walking? Light Running?

Edit Post

I've been walking for awhile, can jog/run in bursts and do long hikes etc. Only thing that isn't ideal is long distance running which I haven't don't much of, partially because of concerns about further fractures.

That's great to hear. How long did it take before you could walk on crutches and be somewhat self-sufficient?

Edit Post

Walking on crutches doesn't take long at all. But the crutch phase lasted awhile for me, longer than it did for most. Its why I advise people be prepared to not be walking normally for a long while after surgery.

Hey programdude,

I've been interested in LL for some time now and I really want to add 7-8cm to my height and have followed your story and read most of your thread. You seem like the type of dude I could ask these questions seeing as how you're into bodybuilding and had LL done.

I've looked into and read most of the relevant information, but what really concerns me right now is the ability to continue to work on my body in the gym after LL.
Especially upper body workouts.

How has LL effected you ability to weightlifting? Benching, squatting, deadlifting, etc?

Is it viable for someone to go through the motions and still be able to maintain/build a good body weightlifitng at the gym after LL?

Can you workout your legs still?

How do you legs look, muscle wise compared to your upper body now?

How long did it take you to really walk normally and go back to the gym?
