Have you been doing the prescribed deca durabolin? I believe that is an anabolic injection, and I do believe it needs to be stacked with testosterone... Have you done this?
And a big congratulations as well on all your progress man, thanks for all the information. I'm about 2cm's in doing an external ilizarov, and I'm going to stay the entire time here to avoid the ATL with exercises at home. Could you recommend some PT that would be most beneficial? So far:
- Leg extensions (seated)
- Toe touches (face upward lying down)
- Lying leg curl (face downward lying down)
- Side lying leg lifts
If you can add anything else I'm all ears.

Yes Have been doing deca, week 6 now with it! I did not see much mineralization at week 3, due to it may be due to small dose(25mg/week). But however I find my pinsites much cleaner due to it and also feel lesss pain after walking/cycling. I am curious how the callous is now though :p.(would find out towards the month end visit)
I did not get your "stacked with testesterone" part though. I thought deca is testesterone!

there were a few excercises that the doctor prescribed and a few more that my friend does. I would take his permission and upload that to give you an idea.
I have been going to office pretty much all time, so I missed out on my physios therefore required ATL. Same with shadow too who is busy with his school.
Excercises would indeed help you avoid ATL. Stretch as much bro! I know of 3 other pili/catagni patients who did it with or around my timeline, as I see them during visits..so, those who stretched did NOT undergo ATL. This should tell you the significance of stretching though.
How much have you done btw, if you dont mind telling :p
I am waitibg currently for bone mineralization.

So far I've done 2cm but I'm going to go as far as 6.5, but I am a bit of a softie with pain so I may stop earlier. Thanks again for checking on the PT! It would be a huge help man.
I'm finding it a bit sore near my a inside ankles of both feet after I lengthen. I'm trying to stretch as much as possible and then stand and weight bear on my feet. Sometimes if I do 3-4 turns in a day, the pin points and the bottoms of my feet get really sore. It will go away after I stand and push the pain out. Of course, this can be completely eliminated on painkillers but I'm doing my best to not use any.

Do as much as you can, with yoru doctors co sent of course. 6.5 cm is not soo much for the pain we endure , perhaps 7.5-8cm? 
Good Luck brother, stay strong!. regarding videos, yet awaiting his aporoval.

Painkillers are not bad. just paracetamol if it is. what rate are you distractcing? perhaps talk to your doctor and go at like .5-.75mm a day? weight bearing is the key brother! walk/stand as much as you can!

That's basically where I am now, some days I will do 2 turns @ 90 degrees (0.5mm) or 3 turns, really depends on how painful my ankle gets. Yes I'm full weight bearing now, even walking around the downtown area of my city with a walker! After a tough first month things are really getting much easier, I feel I'm about 1/3 of the way lengthened as I'm around 2cm's now, so I think it'll be okay. And then expecting to keep my frames on for a few more months (3 maybe?) while things heal up.

I completely missed this, sorry man. No, Deca is deca and testosterone is testosterone. Both are anabolic steroids. Deca durabolin has very strong anabolic growth properties, however it's huge downside is that it will severely affect your testosterone levels, which they call "Deca-dck" and your libido basically doesn't work, but I am not sure what dosage this happens at. Anyways, this can be counteracted by using a testosterone dosage. Mostly my experience is in running steroids for muscle building, so yes 25mg/week is almost nothing compared to the dosages I'm familiar with. Mostly I am familiar with running Deca at 500mg/wk (!), I hope you're getting results out of it because I've never heard of it being used at 25mg/wk.
Here is some material to check.
