Oh man I’m happy to hear that! Have you tried ice as well? Also what about the massage gun?

Get either the Elite or the Pro model. Personally have the Pro and it’s been a great investment. I used it on muscles prior to lengthening but this is also a game changer on the legs fresh in the morning and a few times throughout the day.

Kid you not for the first time in more than 1 month the nerve pain I have on my right leg disappeared. I was so surprised.
It came back later but it's quite ok and manageable now. So yeah, saune is the way from now on.
Thanks for that tip

Is is possible to get this surgery with dr becker and then stay there for 3-4 weeks and then continue rest of the lengthening in my home country? I am thinking about getting 4-4.5 cm tibia with Dr. becker in Jan-Feb.

Sure that’s possible.
Also about rebreak. Yes they do it but the thing is this depends on the patient. If you stretch and keep going then you can get more. If you don’t you may need to quit early because of becoming too tight and clicking will become hard again. Generally speaking, doing 5cm and then 5cm again half a year late is more comfortable and easy with stretching and all but it does require another surgery. It depends on the patient, his progress and how much he stretches mainly.
They will tell you this though (if you are able to continue or need to stop)
Yes, I would recommend staying at least 4 weeks to get in a good routine. And in my opinion the surgery isn’t worth it for only 4-5cm… go for at-least 8!

Rooting for you, I hope you reach your tibia length goals! If you got 8+ cm it would be life changing for sure
I mean it feels like if you can walk earlier (since its weight bearing), it should help stretch the calves/achilles tendon I think just by walking? I wonder if that is the cause of Betz achieving greater lengths than USA doctors. I wonder if Becker will allow you to do standing calves stretches also if its weight bearing, is that safe? Not sure how it works but it would seem that body weight should be better at stretching the calves than straps/braces I imagine?
Do you know any other Betz tibia patients there who have done 6cm or more length on tibias? Kinda curious about their experiences
Hey man, yeah I’m doing standing stretches / toe touches many times per day. Fully walking with no crutches now… it’s awesome. Slight limp but it’s getting better day by day.
I haven’t met any tibia guys in person but I spoke with a guy (and saw his pic) who did 8cm on tibias and 12 on femurs, it looked very good.
