I don't mean to pick on rgkey either... but people were saying how great he looks, etc

The guy does not do 1 squat with like 90 lbs... not even close.... and he looks like he's in pain doing it

there are half squatters, but that's a very light weight... and he looks like he's in serious pain... not normal for such a young man

About pain we can't know. I can tell you that in my gym I see young people struggeling with 40kgs on the smith machine while I watch them from aside with my awsome 130kg squats

Quote from: crimsontide on February 17, 2016, 08:57:16 PMthatdude makes a good point about being hopeful during the recovery process... I can confirm this

Patients might have complications, but since  recovery is not complete, and they seem to be getting better, they assume that the final  outcome will be positive, and post how great things are going

it's only after 2 or 3 years,  when you still have lingering issues,  and you finally realize things aren't going to end up as imagined... then awareness sets in and you  finally start to accept the  crapty reality of the whole ordeal

You may be right. You make a very valid point.

I'm still very hopeful because Dr. G told me from day one that full recovery (including soft tissue flexibility) can take several years. And my only real issues are soft tissue tightness (which has been improving) and the left screw issue (which will go away once it's taken out or adjusted). I can run, but it's a bit funny due to hip flexor/quad tightness, but my legs feel more than strong enough.

Quote from: aspirant185 on February 17, 2016, 08:49:37 PMI am yet to find a negative diariy from Mitkovic..and there are plenty of diaries overall.

Do you consider this acceptable?:

Monorail without internal nail is a misalignment waiting to happen.

Quote from: aspirant185 on February 17, 2016, 05:20:53 PMI think that for proportion purposes lengthening tibias is MUCH better. The average person has no clue that the femurs are supposed to be onger so he will notice 2 bones that are similar and will not think anything is wrong

The average person doesn't give a crap about tibia height. No one outside this forum is judging height basing on tibia/femur relation. For the 99,99% of the world's population a 175cm guy with 36cm tibias and 45cm femurs looks EXACTLY as tall as a 175cm guy with 39cm tibias and 42cm femurs.

hey yellow,

it definitely takes a few years... I don't positive info too much, but I do notice  now I seem to be walking quite a bit better, at least when doing short walks out of the cab,and around the store... I think there's a psychological aspect to it... I might post a video soon... so people can see...

I seem to even walk at a decent speed.....

soft tissue recovery for 7 cm definitely takes years

that's the part I was not prepared for... these dreams of hoping for a full recovery in 8 to 12 months are not realistic

I'm at like 17 0r 18 months... and achilles surgery  only 14 or 15 months ago...

I should probably be more optimistic... but I want 95% recovery....

 Members need to understand that being even 10% less than before is noticeable

Yes. 100% this. I was expecting to be like 95% right now (just over a year after I stopped clicking). For the most part, I'm fine, but I'm really more like 70%-75% if I'm being super conservative and counting full athletic ability (I was never really an athlete, though I've always ran, swam and skied well).

Recoveries like ShyShy, I'll say again, are not the norm. I think I would have done better and be closer to him had it not been for my left screw issue and having to work right after clicking (and having no real breather to focus solely on walking normally after lengthening), but that wasn't the case, but I'm doing well now.

You will get there. This whole process just takes so much more time and is so much more demanding (physically, mentally, time wise, etc.) than people realize.

This surgery is not worth it if you are at least 5'9/5'10 to start with. I don't care where you live or how tall your siblings are...the world does NOT see you short at that height, it's all in your head! I understand part of the allure (at those starting heights) is that those guys can just do one surgery and get to the magical land of 6ft plus that makes all women cream their panties, but really, it's pretty rare for a woman to reject a guy solely based on his height starting 5'8" and up (and yes, I recognize the irony of what I'm saying given that I really want more LL for another inch, I just think 5'8" is a borderline height at the absolute best).

must be sarcasm?

yellow + crimson, I hope that you guys do keep getting better as time goes on.

hi yellowspike, i think you should be very happy with 5,8 height.
That is 1.72, and with insole is a very good height. You will lose more athlety capability if you lengthen your tibias.
you should think that you lucky for that height and you don,t think in the person taller than you and yes in lot of persons and all womans are shorter than you.
good luck,cheers paco.

Microman has left the forum because he wants to move on with his life and doesn't want leg lengthening and height to become an addiction of his. Hopefully he'll return at some point to state how his recovery is coming along, but who knows.

agree with yellow

ty thatdude

paco, you mean tibias in general? or  just the fact that yellow has already lengthened 7 cm?

Thanks. I'm not doing badly, but not 100% yet. I will get there!
