Apologies for the lack of updates. So far I have lengthened 6.5cm. Due to slow bone regeneration, I have stopped lengthening for the time being and am undergoing ultrasound therapy and may ultimately undergo a bone graft. The cause of my slow regeneration is, most likely, my genetics as I am eating and sleeping well, taking a large array of supplement, and am performing small amounts of weight bearing daily. (Not as much weight bearing as I would like, due to the fact that I broke one of my half-pins in December because of too much walking and had to undergo and pay for an additional operation to fix it.)
Other possible causes could be:
Lengthening too fast. (For the first 3cm, I was lengthening 1mm a day.)
Taking NSAIDs, which some say can inhibit bone growth. (I took 90mg of Acroxia a day for the first 4.5cm. Now I take nothing.)
Not enough weight bearing. (As mentioned above.)
There are other possible causes, but these are the probable few I can think of right now.
That being said, my bone IS slowly regenerating. My last X-ray shows there is noticeable cloud formation (more so on my right leg, than left), but being that it's been 5 month since my initial surgery, things are progressing slower than I would like -- especially since I would like to lengthen another centimeter.
On the bright side, I've had plenty of time to stretch and so I have neither ballerina foot nor knee bending.
Also, I've been working, studying, and taking violin lessons, so I feel like my time here so far has been well spent. (Although lacking on the social side.)
I've had quite a few requests to quote my total financial costs so far, which I will try to do in the near future. It's just quite a hassle, as I haven't been keeping an active log of all my expenses.
I'm sorry to hear that man 
Could you give us a little update about your current situation, how would you rate the treatment you have received so far?
