I had a Stryde nail placed in my femurs and stopped lengthening close to the end of January. I stopped around 5.2 cm or 2 inches. I went from around 5'8 to 5'10.  I'm nowhere back to where I was before but getting better over time. I can't jog but can walk fairly long distances. I do walks of about 3 miles about 4 times a week. 

I stopped around 5 cm because I was really struggling with tightness and weakness towards the end. I was not in a good place mentally and physically in spite of getting regular physio. I also needed to get back to work which was another equally important factor. 

Now I regret not having gone for the full 8 cm. My height neurosis still acts up. 5.10 is statistically just above average.  When I'm out I'm always comparing myself to other guys and I'm solidly average. I wonder if going through hell for 5 cm was worth it. I like to think it was but you always want more. Lol.

To be fair if I had pushed myself to 8 cm I would probably be much worse off right now in terms of my mobility.  Surgeons grossly underestimate the amount of recovery time you need after you stop lengthening. And it's not a linear relationship.  Going from 5 cm to 8 cm doesn't just mean adding another 3/8th additional recovery time.  Anyone else not go the full 8 cm?
