Quote from: Iamready on December 06, 2015, 01:33:41 AMOk, so to the person asking about the pain; the truth is that my pain is limited to one leg.  That is my left leg.  My right leg feels as if nothing is happening where as my left feels everything from the lengthening to every second of wearing the dorsiflexion boot.  It's most painful at nights and especially when I wake up because I tend to wake up with cramps in my left calf and some ankle pains.  It's not a comfortable process but I also take the pain  meds as advised, really conservatively and try and suck it up.

Hey man, just got around to reading your posts. Just wanted to say theres other lengtheners suffering from similar issues across the world this moment.

My right leg has experienced 0 pain since first week in hospital and is breezing through distraction. Left leg had tremendous stretching pains on my abductor and knee, and have also forced me to do 0.5 on some days.

Take those painkillers and overcome!

Hey guys just downed a bottle of Gatorade after an intense session with my dad.  This is how I am going to get to 5cm.  Hard fking work.  No excuses, just lots of action and lots of results.  Failure is not an option.  This is my last chance.

First video is me in non depressed mode.  Finally you can see me happy and energetic as opposed to neutral or depressed.  The next video is my father exercising me.   It's not perfect form but we are working on it.
Thanks and Merry Holidays

thanks for posting these videos man! really appreciate it!

PT doesn't seem too painful from the video I had thought people scream during physio

how would you have done that stretch if you were by yourself?

I imagine femur patients scream during this stretch. The guy next to me yesterday was. I am more of the type of person who tears up at pain. I'm not vocal. I might punch myself or try to redirect the pain that's all.

Liking the attitude and videos.  I'm sure if you can keep up that dedication all throughout you'll do awesome.  best of luck man and happy holidays

SAD; this video is in response to your question of how I would do the exercise by myself.
It requires you have a gait belt and a stretch-ez.
Here is a video demonstrating poor technique.  Always keep your legs straight.  The benefit of taping myself is seeing where my form is improper.  Enjoy

I have to ask you, how's your new living quarters? Do you find it better then Homewood suites (I think that was the hotel)? Also what's day to day life like other there?

I'm curious because from the videos I find that place to seem like a small comfy place to stay at; although it might be depressingly lonely.

(And real quick as of today how many CM total are have you done?)

Thanks for the videos man you're providing an amazing view into day to day life better then a lot of people have.
