So, from what I've been reading in this forum, if you do the surgery, you will experience some kind of side effect, like possible arthritis, loss of athleticism, and things like this.
Is this correct?
Yes. LL is not 100% beneficial.
And if you do more than 3 inches you will 100% have problems, right?
If you do 3 mm you will 100% have problems. It's all a matter of degree.
At this point in my recovery I can’t see myself running anywhere near as fast as my personal best before surgery ever again, but I’ll be sure to hop on here and say something if that changes. With that said I don’t care about running so I’m very happy that I did LL.

What do you feel is stopping you from reaching your best? Is your bone not fully recovered, or is it something mechanical?
Death is preferable to being short, and I say this unironically as a person that has a good family, career, and education.
Once I have enough saved up hopefully Stryde 2 or some other reputable weight bearing nail comes out and there will be no hesitation on my part to go with the surgery.
It is better to have love than to have riches. I will try my best to have both, or die trying.

Unless you're a literal midget (under 5' as a man), this is crazy.

I haven’t tried running with the nails out yet, but before I got my nails removed I had pain in my lower femurs from the impact whenever I tried to run. My heart rate also got dangerously high after just five minutes of running continuously. I was only able to do timed 800m runs and they took over 6 minutes. Before surgery I could run 1600m in under 6 minutes easily.
I’ll hold off on fully judging my situation until my I’m cleared to run after nail removal, but based on my experience before nail removal it doesn’t seem like I can run very well anymore.

This happened to me at first too. Heart rate thing returns to normal once you build your cardio back up. I found that when I first started running again I literally forgot how to pace myself because I forgot what normal running effort felt like. Just try running at 40-50 percent effort with big long femur strides and you will be surprised how much ground you are actually covering without burning yourself out.
