Day 133...
I was able to walk to my apartment gym about 5 minutes away and actually feel in command of my steps for the first time.
Also noticing knees bending, and the heal to toe combination coming back...
Merry Christmas
Awesome progress Bonestretching! You mentioned 2 weeks post distraction that you still had a light dull pain, is that completely gone now?
Alchemist, pain is is about 99% gone when idle, just subtle feels of pain, that are so light i pay no mind to it, maybe once, twice a day. I could compare it to just being sore after a jog.
The only consistent feeling of pain (if you want to call it that), is when i do walk the knees are a bit tight/wirey. I have made good progress in flexion, but I can feel the tension bc knees are not completely loose yet. Its more like a feeling of tightness, more than pain. I could walk all day with this kind of feeling with no issues, and it is improving daily now. Something about day 130, each day it is now getting better.
This morning i was able to get out of bed and walk to my kitchen without any pre stretching, with no pain. Interesting... At this stage, I am wondering if this 4.5 Month mark is a sweet spot in the healing process... I will update again later today after my stretching and work out.

That is awesome!
If I may ask which surgeon did you do the surgery with and how much did it cost you and how much are you growing to in which part of the leg. I’m thinking of getting two surgeries done one in femur and one in tibia. Want to gain about 10cm currently lost in which surgeon to pick. Please let me know thank you ! Hope it goes well for you
Hands down, in my humble opinion Dr. Mahboubian is the guy.
I think you can find his latest costs on his website, feel free to message me i can tell you my costs.
If you look on page 1 of my diary, you can review on why I chose this surgeon.
Thanks I checked out his prices on his website. Quite expensive but not as expensive as Dr Paley. For both femur and tibia surgery it costs about 150k where as for dr Paley it’ll be over 200k. Also on his website there’s plenty of patients who have done even gained 14cm which is astonishing. Thanks for your info going to save up my money and get it done with him in the future.

Amazing progress man- very happy for you. I'm approaching 2 weeks post distraction and am happy with the daily progression but slightly impatient with the minor dull pain still around. Your timeline has me optimistic about the next few weeks.
Very exciting news dude!!
Free at last man. You're close to being back the way you want to be back. Congrats! and keep.going.strong.
Day 134.
Tightness pains around knees, from sitting down extended period of time no longer happening when i stand up from chair.
In other words, no pain in knees upon standing.
... Carry on.
