Quote from: Rammstein on April 24, 2018, 08:19:32 AMSorry guys to write in german, but my englisch is really bad and I can not write my idea right in english.

@Constantine: Das freut mich gerade, dass es dir nach und  nach besser geht. Naja, ich glaube zwischen 7 und 8 würden echt sehr gut heilen. Je größer die Verlängerung ist bzw. länger, desto mehr Schmerzen du am Ende hast, oder liege ich da falsch?
Und was ist dieses "duckass" Ding? Ich habe es gegooglt aber konnte keine gute Antwort drauf haben. Bleibt das für immer oder das geht auch nach der Zeit?
Könntest du auch bitte zwischen durch die Kommentare in Deutsch schreiben? Die Übersetzung macht mich manchmal durcheinander

Duckass heißt übersetzt entenarsch und sollte natürlich weg gehen.
Schmerzen ist bei jedem anders , ich empfinde seit 5 cm die Sache nicht mehr so schmerzhaft. Am schlimmsten war es bis 3cm.
Umso weniger du verlängerst umso besser ist natürlich die Heilung. Aber man niold forum  viel Stress , schmerzen und kosten auf sich und das soll sich dann am Ende auch lohnen. Mein Minimum ist 8cm..

He was asking if the duckass stays forever, I answered hopefully not
Then he asked if more you lengthened means more pain .
For me the most painful time was until 3cm. Since 5 cm I feel much better.

Today my nerve pain in my left leg came back. It’s curios , when I walk It doesn’t hurt that much but when I lie in bed and bend my leg a little  it makes me scream. I take Lyrica everyday but i don’t think that it helps.

If the duck ass got worse with the more you lengthened, wouldn't you lose any extra centimeters you gained by that act of lengthening more?

It could not be worth it. But I'm no doctor. Just something to maybe ask your doctor about.

of course you are losing cm. But after lengthening it shouldnt stay like this
You lose centimeters because of wide legs, duckass and bendet legs while you stay.I must stay on one straighten leg like a flamingo to notice my actual height.
After lengthening is finished the recovery work starts. I will keep working with my physio, stretching on my own etc. The Physio work now is just a fight i can't win. One day i stretch and work on my wide legs , IT bands and its getting better. But next after clicking its the same or more worse again. It is like a Hamster wheel.
Yesterday i wrote that my nerve pain came back again, this was wrong i think. I noticed later that the pain is in may calf. I think i got a calf strain and its hurting like crazy. The day before i walked a lot and because of my awkward walking i injured my calf. So one problem more during my LL journey. I need to walk to activate bone healing . One the other hand i am injuring myself because i can't walk normal. Thats really frustrating

Hi Constantine. How are you today and how is your pain? ist it gone hopefully? and how is the lengthening?

6,6cm

Days are going really slow when you do LL and this month was like never ending for me. If i could do some productive work or follow my hobbies the days would go really fast. But this is not possible, i am busy with managing pain,clicking , taking pain killers etc. I don't have the mood to do anything else. I am just waiting that this ends. But May will be the last month of lengthening for me.
Last wednesday i took a day off from clicking because of pain in my calf. The next day i clicked all 15 at once and i felt nothing. This happens always when i take a day off. The next two days i can click all at once and i feel almost nothing. The third day i must split the clicks otherwise its again too much pain after clicking.
Yesterday i was at the mall and walked a lot. Walking is getting more difficult everyday. My legs are still bend when i walk but i try to stretch my legs with every step. I must walk as much as i can to stimulate the bone healing but the distance i can walk is getting less everyday. But the fact that the bone healing is so important forces me to keep walking even if it is just a few steps. I have at home 14 stairs that i have to take 2-3 times everyday if i want or not.This helps also to stay active.

My pain killers are going to finish soon. I need to contact Dr Betz office for a new prescription next week.

Duck ass and wide legs: same level
Sleeping: last night i slept 9 hours without any break. I am sorry for those you have sleeping problems but i think everybody has is own goods and bads.
Clicking: still easy
Pain: still little pain in my right calf.

For me the hardest part of LL until now was the first 2-4 Weeks. After that it was still hard but manageable. Specially after reaching 5cm and starting to split the clicks everything gots easier.


wish you a nice sunday

7cm Post

What a nice number! In the beginning my roommate told me about a guy who is lengthening and reached 7 cm. This was so far away for me, i couldn't imagine to say this one day for me. But today is this day and i am really happy! Now i can see a light at the end of the tunnel

I have no noticeable difference since i reached 6cm in case of issues. Just i feel my legs are bended a little bit more when i stay.
Now I can't wait for my recovery time, i hope everything will go well for me. End of this month i will schedule my new x rays. I hope my bone healing is going well. It was a long long time until here, losing month of your life, risking so many things . At this moment i am not regretting it at all. 

i am so curious about when i finally notice my new height. At this moment my height is still not noticeable because of my wide legst etc.

i wish you a nice weekend guys!

Hello guys, iam still at 7,3cm. Iam not clicking since 4 days now. Because Again a sharp pain at the outside of my calf. The pain started after I had a walk at the mall. But I don’t know what it is really. Walking is still fine but the problem is the pain starts when I rotate my leg for clicking. Even a little rotate hurts like hell. My Theorie is that this comes from disabled walking ( bended legs , duck ass ). I am a little bit frustrated as I wanted to finish soon. Now again everything takes longer..I read always that people has sleeping problems or upper leg pain etc. I have always the most pain around my calf and I had to take off already so many times because of this area.. I hate this because i am lengthening my femur and not my tibias. I don’t think that I can click tomorrow but maybe on Monday. This time is really a long break I am lengthening more than 3 month for just 7,3cm.
