Quote from: Movie on September 09, 2020, 08:01:35 AMWhat's up fellas wanted to share this little video of me racing my 13 y/o adolescent friend today, who's a bit out of shape haha. I feel myself lighter on my sprint and with a significantly faster top speed than my previous sprint video in the grass, I probably would've gone faster if I had an opponent who'd actually try and encourage me to go fast as I can lol but anyway! check it out:

right after this I had a bit of left knee pain maybe I shouldn't have ran without shoes. Anyway hope everyone is doing good, wish you guys prosperity and health.

sprints looking GOOD

@ghkid2019 thanks bro! I think with hard work and dedication I might be able to get pretty close once the rods are out, I'm not slow by any means right now.
@Brondo thanks bro, I'm not sure I feel like 75% ish
@wannabeidol: Yeah man can't wait till they're out


Today I went with 2 of my good friends to kick the ball around (soccer) and just work on some drills for about an hour and a half, I was surprised my stamina wasn't too bad I was kind of keeping up, but I was the one with the least stamina of us lol. I was running pretty fast on a turf field with my cleats on, I felt great!

my ball control and pass accuracy is a bit different now since my legs are different but I quickly learned my new "normal" and 30-40 minutes in I was controlling and passing the ball accurately as before. Also when I kick the ball now I don't feel a shocking twitch on my quad muscles almost at all, only very few times, I would feel it a lot before, I think it comes from over extending that muscle while you kick the ball (when the leg goes back). I should've got some footage for you guys!
One of those friends who knows about my surgery said I wasn't moving that slow anymore I'm kind of getting up there with the speed, which definitely made me happy. All of this didn't come without any repercussions though, left knee and hip (screw areas) again are in some pain but nothing tylenols can't manage hahah oh well It's well worth the pain.

That's great Movie! Hopefully you can return to 100%. You're a real inspiration here and I'm hoping everything turns out great for you. It would set a great example for what can be done with limb lengthening. Honestly, I'm waiting to see how things turn out for you when you get your nails taken out, so I can save up some cash and go to Dr. Mahboubian when I'm ready in the future. Can't wait to check out your progress in the upcoming months.

today I experienced 10/10 pain, crippling pain, I wanted to cry pain, I regret this surgery pain ... it was so bad I'm still suffering from this pain as we type, my knee and calf muscles are twitching from how much it hurts, not sure where it's coming from or why, I walked a couple miles before it happened. Hopefully it's nothing but a speed bump, but dang. I'm in real pain in my right knee ... again....

Hey Movie,

Take it easy and don't push yourself too much until you get the nails taken out and you've healed properly. Maybe talk to Mahboubian and get some painkillers if it's that bad. Play it smart bro. Rooting for you.

Hi Movie,

                Take good care of yourself. Just want to say life is short. What you did is brave but in a way lonely at certain times. Only those who walk this path will really understand as the legs are yours 24/7. They can only imagine the pain and solitude element in this journey. I still feel it and hard to talk to people who didnt walk this journey. There are days when you will beam with awesome that you did it. There will be times where it is 180. Can only say the bad days too shall pass.

Perhaps the screw touched a nerve. This is discouraging :/

Have you scheduled getting the nail removal yet?

I think your overdoing exercising. While you are in consolidation phase, you still have the Stryde nails inside. I’ve read your posts, you’ve done a lot of excessive exercising, like walk/jog many miles a day, squats with 200+ pound weights, play intensive sports. You should just stay with recommended exercises by your PT and doctor.
