Quote from: BetzLandLiberator on June 20, 2021, 05:54:29 PMI think this post is important for people to understand that weight bearing nails are important not just because they are more convenient but because they stimulate faster bone growth. The more you walk with Stryde or Betzbone, the faster the bone healing will be. With Precise you can't do this safely.
Sure , I do agree 100% with you its better to wait for Stryde , when I try to walk with walker ( I just tried today ) there is a pain in my right hip
I will not say I'm regretting Precise, if someone ask me I will will strongly recommended him for full weight bearing nails, NOT JUST to avoid poor bone growth , but also you do not want to be several month on the wheelchair , and if thing went worse, you might stop on 4 cm plus wheelchair, and then you should lie to yourself thats worth money and time.
if we have a latest solutions ( more safe and strong ) why should be go for the old one ?
Should I Stop at 4.5 cm due to poor bone healing ?
Quote from: PerfectBody on June 20, 2021, 06:22:09 PMHey man, does cycling aid bone healing as well? Just curious because walking tires me out super fast.
I'm still searching for The impact of cycling exercise on bone healing but still I did not get any supportive result, if any way dose ?
One more thing my doc mentioned which could help weight bearing very safe is (1) anti gravity treadmill treatment and (2)underwater treadmill treatment
(1)
(2)
This might be a solution to overcome the weight bearing restrictions on precice nail
* I cloud not fine this treatment close by

"
But I think I will take come step with the a assistance of walker .
What it was originally made for doesn't matter to you. It was designed by fat Americans for fat Americans, where the average weight is 89 kg. If it can support you, you should use it to support your weight.

Unlikely since your legs are bearing very little weight when you cycle.

I will try to put more weight bearing on my legs , last week I even stand without waker - just stand NOT waking - and it was fine.
The only issue now that I have pain when I try to walk with walker in my right hip, this is stopping me form weight bearing with walker.
I did not do cycling yet I'm just consider cycling if it would help with healing
Thank you man again for your helpful posts
"Cycling has a variety of health benefits, however, research has shown that it does not help create strong bones. In fact, depending on the amount of cycling you do, it may even decrease your bone density. So, if your only form of exercise is cycling, you may end up with weaker bones than those who are inactive."

You have slow bone healing but still there is a bone bridge so you don't risk a non union.
If time is not a problem, stop lengthening for 2-3 weeks, as someome wrote above, to let your bones heal more and then start lengthening again.
All that time eat good, especially red meat and some greek yoghurt and I believe you could reach more than 6cm.
If someone is a non smoker, generally healthy and not very old, non union is very rare.
So leave some time for your bones to heal better and then continue at a slow lengthening rate, less than 1mm per day (even 0,5mm would be fine for your case).
You may need more time for lengthening but the extra height will stay for all your life.
Doing LL for 4cm simply does not worth.

Walking isn't necessary for building bone, and it makes one leg have to bear more weight than the other, which is a danger for you with Precise. I stood in one place as long as I could tolerate it, and did that several times a day.

this realistic and optimistic post
I will go back school to teach after 2 months, which I think is good enough to gain the max possible hight, and I do strongly agree that 4 cm is just not worth time and money, even 5 cm ( 2 inches ) is just a minimum satisfactions. 6 cm is great and still safe

Thank you man, then the problem solved
I can stand up to 5 mints a at once, I thought only waking would help bone growth faster, if this is the case I have no problem to stand
