Limb Lenghtening with Dr Guichet 2017

Edit Post

Has anyone (post LL) ever experienced that your hips go up when you lift yours legs? like unstable.

Edit Post

Do you mean walking like a penguin, with you body shifting to left and right?
I think that is normal.
I had it and it has become better, so that by now I walk normally.
One thing that helped is to pay attention to use the feet, meaning put the back of the foot firmly on the ground, and then use your front feet to push yourself off the ground.

Hi helloworld. I used to have that for a week the penguin but now my shoulder are fixed and only the hips and my lower body shift. It's only been 2 weeks after I stopped lengthening however, as I'm leaving Milano and won't see the doctor again, I'm getting anxious to recover as much as possible.

How long did it take you to solve it? (yes I also noticed that I think it's because when you use the front feet you activate your glutes to stabilize your hips).

I am not sure if I got the same.
I will make a video of me walking in the style post limb lengthening and normal style and you can see.

Every week my walking got better.
However, my running is still strange and slow. This is despite the fact that my bike is normal and fast.

Thanks, approximately how many weeks did it took you from finish lenghtening to regain normal walking? For me running is out of the question as I am not yet fully fused!

Hey LLSouth, do people notice something when you walk? or its all normal?

Edit Post

It's been almost 2 weeks since finishing lenghtening. I regained my ability to walk long distances (I can walk more than 1 hour without stopping), but I'm still slower than most people. Yes Kaiser, they do because of my little sway on my hips and also because I always wear my crutches for stairs and so that people know that I'm not normal.

Hello, Does Dr Guichet allow you to walk without crutches on flat surfaces after finishing lengthening and are you managing this?

Edit Post

Sure, even before the lenghtening he allows you to walk without crutches but it depends on your bone formation and intended gain.
