On road for 10 cm closer to the sky with Dr. Ghassan Salameh and Dr. Schmidt

Quote from: Body Builder on December 30, 2017, 12:12:39 AMTell me one user here that did 10cm on tibias.
I don't know anyone.
Only a few did about 8cm with atl on Catagni-Pili and their abilities are permanently been reduced a lot. If you want to lengthen 8.5 cm and walk like a cripple then yes, it is probable. 10 cm is not possible without terrible kinetic deficits.
You have a relatively good starting height (like mine), with 7cm you'll be probably ok and have a respectable height .
So lessen your expectations or be ready for a second LL. There is no other real option.


Where do you know all this? When did you do your LL?

Update:
I stopped working in mid-January because it's becoming hard and hard to sleep and to go to work. Now I have serious knee bent and I'm only at 3.5cm. I also have pain in my right leg at the fibula cut area. If someone can tell me how to attach an image so you will give me your feedback about it. The cut seems very weird! i think my pain comes from that.
Thank you for reading my diary

I started having knee pain when bending my knee on tibia side at around 3cm and was only able to lengthen till 4cm because it just kept getting worse and i started getting ballerina. The pain your expereiencing at front of shin near cut site is most likely nerve pain damage. I had that also. Can i ask what your initial starting height is? Trying to reach 11cm will be very painful and not safe at all.

Press ctrl +f on your keyboard and write "attachments", then click that. Then look for the "Browse..." button. You can attach files to your post through that. However, it never seems to work for some reason (for me, at least; I've seen it working for others). I'd recommend making an account on imgur.com (so you can delete the images later; you'll lose control over them without an account) and uploading the images there if the forums don't work.

I was around your height when I started.
Do 7 cm maximum.
Even 6-6,5 will change a lot.

My initial height is 168.5cm. My goal is now 6.5-7 cm max. Did you recover from nerve damage? If yes how?

I've seen a good amount of limb lengthening x rays and although the bone at that spot looks "shattered" its "normal in my opinion" with LL ( I lengthened 6.5 external fixation device. actually am doing correction now) from my experience pain comes and goes at almost every spot on the body. Do you have any swelling at that spot? redness? or anything like that? do you take any pain medications? how much do you walk per day? of course you are still using crutches?
