perspectivly, now that you stand near your dad (your pre LL height if I am not mistaken) does 3 inches look like a very big difference? I mean, does he appear alot shorter to you or just a little bit short?

So you grew 5.5 centimetres in the tibia, and how much do you plan to lengthen in the femur?

By the way, you're doing a way better job than me mate! So well done on getting through this!

I plan on getting 7 on the femurs.  That's of course if everything goes well.  3 inches feels a lot.  It feels a lot more than me in lifts did standing next to him.  I imagine every inch from here i'll feel like i'm towering over him. i can see over his head at this height.

my main source of main is the tingling in my feet from the nerve release.  It's a little unsettling since the meds they gave me don't work and I have no idea when it will stop.  If i even move my feet or my toes i get a horrible shock.

Did you inquire Paley about it? I would also suggest you to ask a neurologist. You are the first who is describing this thing

Paley said it is normal and its the irritation of the nerves,  Even my pt says he has seen several cases and some way worse that eventually went away,   So no, i'm not the first person who got a nerve decompression and experienced this. It's more likely no one on the board had this procedure done.

Still, it is always good to get a second opinion (A thing I learned in med school)

Well done mate! You have no idea how better you will feel after all of this!

In your experience there, how many people were making it to 5 centimetres in the tibia? Amazes me how fast the tibia resists after 5!

why was nerve decompression done anyway? did you have nerve damage during tibial lengthening?

i believe it's done to prevent foot drop and to also allow me to reach a goal on my femurs without damaging the nerves.
