Limb Lenghtening with Dr Guichet 2017

Edit Post

Yes, 5cm is a major difference, I wouldn't advise you going much further. Just upload it like any other image and post the link here.

Apparently 15 clicks is more than 1 mm, so I'm actually a little bit more than 5, maybe 5.2. I will not surpass 6 cm, and I'll stop very soon for the sake of my mental health. These are my x rays: 15 days post op and 30 days post op

Good x-rays! Good thing you're stopping soon, I think you'll have a very good recovery as well. Rooting for you.

Thanks! I hope for you the same and also for everyone doing this kind of surgery. I would have posted a video of me doing bike or elliptical or walking alternating legs with crutches, but unfortunately all of them have my face on them hahah

I'm about 5.3 cm now. The doctor has heard my prayers and has allowed me to walk without crutches 1 hour per day and infinite with crutches. Took my first steps, they look so weird haha with a very little duckass. So slow and unnatural

Though I still have to make up my mind about dr Guichet, I absolutely love the nail. I am walking 1 week and a half before the end of my lengthening with no pain. I feel like I lost  balance and I have a little duckass but otherwise I feel like walking wil be normal in no time. It has also cured me of my nervous breakdown 1 week ago. This surgery really makes you appreciate the little things. Walking is everything !!

You're doing very well just be careful with your steps

I am very close to normal but you are right. Until I finish lenghtening I will keep walking without crutches to a minimum. I won't fk up everything by being reckless.

you said there's pain, is it manageable or its screw your say? Anyways 7 cm in femur is great and worth the price. Tell us about your update everyday, its an interesting diary. Good luck

The other guys I knew weirdly enough had more pain during the first week and no pain after the first month. For me it was moderate from beginning and a little nowadays. Particularly i feel pain in the hamstring while sitting on a hard chair, it's annoying but calms after getting to another position. Very manageable.
I won't do 7 cm because it would mean another 2 weeks and more risks. I feel like I'm in the casino, I've achieved a lot and I can't wait to take my winnings and GTFO. I'll stop at 6 cm.
