In fact, I only lengthened my height by four centimeters because of my leg length. I think four centimeters is a safer option because I value the recovery of leg function. After growing four centimeters taller, I feel very satisfied and have reached the average height of our country.
Day 460
I recently discovered a way to speed up my leg's recovery. I went to a swimming pool with a hydrotherapy massage. I've felt great since my first day there. The in-water massage, combined with the hot compress, has increased blood flow to the lower calf. I previously researched and discovered that only 1% of the body's blood flows to the lower calf, near the ankle. No wonder my ankle pain was progressing so slowly. I've since started researching ways to increase blood flow to this area to speed up recovery. The combination of hot compresses and massage is truly the best approach. My calf muscles have become more elastic and less stiff and tense. The pool next to the hydrotherapy area also allows me to... After applying a warm compress, go swimming. This also increases blood flow and reduces sports injuries and dangers, preventing problems like falls. However, my left ankle still feels sore, and the range of motion isn't as good as my right ankle. I need to continue my rehabilitation. As my calf gradually recovers, I'm considering thigh lengthening. The thigh's blood flow accounts for 10%-15% of the body's total blood flow, and most people believe it recovers faster than the calf. This makes me even more interested in thigh lengthening. If I aim for 4 cm and lengthen only one leg to avoid the crippling condition of having both legs broken, I think the entire process won't take too long, and recovery will be faster and the risks will be lower. I'll discuss this with my doctor.

My latest recovery status: It seems the callus in my left foot isn't healing well. Previous X-rays showed similar results. I'm a little worried that after the nails are removed, I might break the bone during exercise. Has anyone else experienced this? Can I still exercise and lift weights normally after the nails are removed?
Day 628
Currently, only my left ankle is still a bit stiff.
Four months ago, I had ankle debridement surgery to remove bone spurs and adhesions due to persistent stiffness and pain in my left ankle. I don't know why my left ankle is recovering slower than my right.
However, this is when I wake up in the morning. It improves after about 5 minutes of movement. I went for physical therapy and had ankle release surgery, which felt better. I also did a lot of ankle exercises.
Regarding exercise, I can now do Hatfield squats (95 kg, 5 sets of 10 reps), single-leg deadlifts (16 kg, 3 sets of 15 reps), box jumps (15 cm), Pogo jumps, and farmer's walks (60 kg, 4 minutes, 4 reps). However, when I sit up from a chair, I still need to use my hands to support my thighs to stand up. I rarely run because of the high impact, worried about the intramedullary screws breaking.
I think my slow recovery is because I stayed in bed during the extension period until the external fixator was removed before starting rehabilitation activities. Therefore, my recovery is not as fast as others. However, since I started Hatfield squats... Afterwards, I felt my legs were stronger and my recovery was faster.
Although I feel I can lift heavier weights,
I'm worried about the intramedullary nail screws breaking, so I only lift 95 kg for training.
What weights do you all use for training?
Intramedullary nail diameter: 8.5mm
Screw diameter: 4.5mm
Number of screws: 2 in the knee, 2 below the tibia
My morning foot numbness didn't decrease until a year after surgery. And it took another year and a half for my foot to feel like it was recovering well. Before that, it was always a little uncomfortable. Now it feels more normal, but I can't do explosive movements. I can do general weightlifting training.
Day 637
Yesterday at noon, the intramedullary nail in my tibia was removed.
After waking up, I felt dizzy and nauseous. The foot pain wasn't as bad, but the anesthesia-related dizziness, nausea, and stomach pain upon waking were more bothersome. I couldn't urinate either. The doctor said they would insert a catheter, which scared me. My wife accompanied me to the toilet because I'm still not very strong to stand after surgery. I urinated intermittently until late at night.
This morning, my foot wound was quite painful, especially my knee. My patellar ligament was cut open to remove the nail. I took painkillers and slept for a while, feeling a bit better. The doctor said I could start practicing standing and walking. I then used a walking aid to practice. Looking at my calf wrapped in bandages, I thought, "This is finally over." It turns out that the stiffness and soreness in my left ankle disappeared after the nail removal. That's wonderful! The problem was caused by the intramedullary nail.
I even had ankle surgery for debridement and spent some money and endured some pain to get tendon repair injections. It seems like all of that was unnecessary.
Now I'm just waiting for my bones to heal sufficiently in about six months before resuming weight training. This journey has been truly difficult, and the recovery process has been very long. Including the recovery after the intramedullary nail removal, it will take about two and a half to three years for a full recovery. Having gone through all this, I hope everyone involved in surgery will be extremely careful. Pre-operative medical research and post-operative recovery efforts are crucial. This amazing surgery requires cooperation between the doctor and the individual to achieve good results. I hope that after the hardships of surgery, everyone can enjoy the fruits of their recovery, find peace of mind, and let go of anxieties about height. Wishing everyone a successful surgery and a smooth recovery.
I'll add the X-ray photos later.
To any future prospects, stick to femur internal nails. Recovery is much faster and less complications from all these different stories I’ve read to include my own.

Nonsense boyo, as with everything in life if you make sure to never go full retard itd be fine
Plus how do you reckon all these pajeets and turd worlders are gonna pay 60 grand for precice? Thats like 15 yearly salaries of them driving rikshas 7 days a week
You can get external tibias for as low as $5000 in some places, 3-4 month all included lon tibia packages for 15 grand
Where? 15k for externals is a steal.
