That's by all accounts great to hear PD. If I may bother you with just two questions; how much did each of these individuals lengthen? How many people did you lengthen with?

It is a good point
I guess less tan 8cm may be 6cm maximum?

Nope. One individual did the same amount as me, starting an inch shorter than me.

One did indeed only do 6 cm, though he was over 40 years old! Starting around two shorter than me.

Another example did just about a cm less than me, starting a whopping 5 or so inches shorter than me.

Proportionately I did far more than two of them, and slightly more than the other, yet they have had great recoveries. I think this mostly proves that even moreso than amount lengthened(although I am sure my recovery would have been phenomenal with an inch less of lengthening), how your body responds to it determines your outcome, and is somewhat luck of the draw.

Does anyone know of any long term effects of LL on femur (approx. 7,5 cm). I was wondering if the massive gain of bone, and therefore the increased weight on your tibias could cause long term problems such as Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, knee pain, etc. ?

well,if i dont get better, id say dont do it

might be diue t achilles issues

i  just cant enjoy walking now

paley said id never get near 90% recovery after achilles lengthening, while catagni says 100% is possible or probable

hard to know who's right

i cant stand on my tiptoes now.... and i used to have very strong lower legs

worst thing though is my walking speed.... im so slow,no power

im not sure what my options are now, if ill recover

definitely cant enjoy life like this

I am sorry that LL did not work out for you as you hoped it would.  Permanent effects of LL If I may ask, how much did you lenghten your tibias?

very nicely explained and I do understand the risk associated with this surgery and after effects but I am willing to go for it because I cannot stay whole life being short.

Quote from: ForcedPuberty on January 12, 2015, 05:05:31 PMtake a look at the poll for itsmylifes diary.

the statistic never seems to change.

40% believe in 5-6cm
20% believe in 6-7cm
20% believe in 7-8cm
20% believe in 8-9cm

this is the very reason why so many people get fked up. the second reason is because we all know soft tissue cant go past 0.66mm per day and NO MUTHERfkER STICKS TO IT.

instead they (ultimately do an average of 0.66mm perday) but destroy their body 1 day at a time by over lengthening on a daily basis, they think they are fine during this process because they mask the symptoms of the damage with massive levels of pain killers. ultimately they are fking their body up.

I can tell you with certainty the body can not lengthen past this level unless you use medication to lie to yourself about how fast you can lengthen. when you do something bad the body produces pain to tell you to fking stop. my doctor will not give me any pain killers and I tell you now going above 0.66 is impossible. because your body screams to stop this madness. the same for going above 5cm in total length.

I have never seen a diary where someone did 5cm or less and had permanent damage. with a good doctor. and lengthened 0.66mm per day every single day.

the problem is that people need to be informed about how serious this surgery is. but NOOOOOO every stupid mutherfker comes here wanting to lengthen 20cm, and then ultimately decides on less but still decide to do too much. the problem is greed. people are greedy they want to complete the surgery as fast as possible and want to lengthen the maximum as possible.

greed needs to end.
6cm tibia is the MAX LIMIT. not a mm more.
external femur 5cm MAX LIMIT. not a mm more.

internal femur...... I cant answer. but every stupid nobody who does answer will answer this question with greed in their mind wanting it to be as high as possible. and that again is the problem. your body has limits.

You remind me a guy I've met in Serbia. Many didn't liked him because he was "too honest".

Screw the political correctness. You've summed up pretty well.

I noticed people saying others have great recoveries… but unless it's medically documented or you know them personally and in contact with them, you'd never know if they have complications. I would never have known your leg snapped if you weren't willing to openly discuss your recovery here… so thanks for your updates. I find your updates, along with Medium's to be 2 of the most credible sources on this website that I can find on this subject.

It's notoriously hard to verify anyone having full recoveries. Crimson says that many are happy they had the surgery but that says nothing about them being fully recovered. That can simply mean they find moderate pain or having a limp or some other handicap is better than being short. Kinda like all those people in Hollywood who look like the Joker after doing too many facelifts but are still happy with the surgeries.
