Safe travels!
I noticed you used a Theragun to help relax the muscles. Is this recommended by the doctor? I was under the impression massage guns could do more harm than good to the lengthening area

Thanks. Theragun wasn’t recommended by the doctor, but I’ve used it for years otherwise and figured it would help with easing the muscle tension (and it does). Other patients have also recommended. I’m wondering what makes you think it would do more harm than good?

That's good to hear it helps - I'm thinking of getting one to use when I do mine.
I was under the impression because most people push the gun so deep into the area that it could be a bit harsh around the injury site, but as long as you're not reckless with it I don't see it being an issue.

Ahh yeah for sure. Makes sense. In the beginning you have to press very lightly because it does hurt! As time is going on I’m able to press harder.
For the tibia, I don’t press at all along the top of the leg where the bone is. Just on the sides, and the back of the leg.

Interesting. I saw your IG story, and it looks like your making amazing progress. What length are you at now?
Amazing stuffs man. I love your walking and the environment there
I wish I had a powerful passport like USA so that I can go anywhere in the world I want for surgery. My dream in life is to get Canadian citizenship and do LL in a developed country.
My 3rd world passport is too much restricting
Cant believe you're walking like you are.

They won’t allow you to go to Germany? What about Switzerland? You can always go to Zurich and hop over to Germany quite easily. The clinic is about an 80 minute drive from the Zurich airport!

I know man. It’s awesome. Can’t walk too far tho… otherwise it starts to really hurt. Went in the airport no crutches, by the time I got to the gate I was sweating bullets and couldn’t wait to sit down. Having the carry-on luggage with wheels did help a little.
