Maybe pain is not the best word. But a constant discomfort.
Distracting is not painfull. I dont  feel any pain when i distract, only that some time later i feel more tension in my legs.

Im lengthening at 0.8 . My body doesnt tolerate more than that very well. Even at that rate i stopped the lengthening for three days beause the discomfort in my legs was getting very big. Now after that im lengthening again and doing better. 5cm right now.

I will return home after two months at MICs

Dont give up!!!

What are the worst moments in cm? all the people talk about 6 cm.

Others tell that in 2 cm there is a increase in the pain too.

I really think that people cares to much about pain during lengthening or inmediately post op. Its obious that you are going to feel some pain. You are going to have a major surgery but  This is not the important thing... for me the real important thing is to dont have any kind of pain or limitation after i finish my consolidation. Chronic pain is the worst thing a person could have in his life.
Its normal to feel pain after surgery but this will be treated with pain meds and is very bearable.
During lengthening from 1cm to 5cm for me has been about the same. With diferent kinds of pains that start and gone  And constant tension in my legs. The first month is obiously more painful because the surgery is more recent but you arent going to feel inmense pain at any stage.

yesterday i left the MiCs, after two months living there. I have had a great time with the other Dr.Monegal Patients and they have become my new friends. MiCs apartments are very well adapted for people in our situation. The gym and the swimming pool with hot water is essential for our recovery. The last weeks, i really enjoyed to go to the  swimmingpool almost every day , to walk and do stretches. I recomend to everyone to stay in MiCs  during all the lengthening or at least for two months like i did. Its important to be with persons that are doing the same as you and to be near Dr.Monegal during this stage. The saddest part was to left there my new friends.
Im at 5.6cm now so im in the final lap . Only 1.4cm more to finish my lengthening

I agree. Temporary pain isn't a big deal unless it's absolutely excruciating and drives you insane. Long term pain is a much bigger problem. And congratulations, KrP1. Good going.

Congratz om 5,6cm, that must be a good feeling being 5,6cm taller!
Good luck with your last 1,4cm.. Or maybe more, you never know

Will you go home for the last 1,4cm lengthening or will you stay at another place close to the clinic?
