Hello Everyone

I been following this forum for a while but haven’t posted or made an account because I wanted to be as discrete and anonymous as possible.

I recently had the tibia/fibula procedure with precise. ( The version before stryde) where it’s not full weight bearing
I didn’t have much complications or pain/concerns until recently a week ago or so probably right before getting to 5cm.

Currently I’m around 6cm and I’m aiming for the full 8cm. ( Please don’t tell me 8cm is dangerous or risky it is  because I read multiple diaries where they done 8cm and even more.) So I know it’s doable but will take extra dedication to reach.

After I got closer to the 5cm mark I started getting like a burning sensation on my left shin when straightening out my leg which I believe is nerve pain that caused me to stay in bed most of the day and walk less.
So I developed ballerina foot and it got worse drastically and rapidly. I went from having my full heel on the ground to it being lifted a good 3cm or so (I’m not exactly sure how much just an estimate) In a week. Also my knee extension became horrible and I think it’s what’s causing me to have bad ballerina because when I stand or walk my knees are bent and not straight. Honestly I’m worried about these conditions but at the same time I know after I’m done lengthening it’ll be a-lot easier to stretch and get back to normal. I only need about 3 more weeks to get to 8cm but it’s getting bad to the point where I spend most of my day in bed. In these 3 weeks I know my ballerina will get worse and my knee extension would get worse but after I’m done distraction and my soft tissue gets to catch up I’ll be going very hard walking and stretching everyday to resolve these issues. Right now no matter how much stretching I do it feels like I’m doing nothing and I can’t get up and walk much due to the shin pain/nerve pain. (Which is normal in what I read in previous diaries)

I want to know how much ballerina is considered too much? Can anyone tell me of a person on this forum who got really bad ballerina and was able to fix it after distraction? And how much ballerina is considered too far to be fixed ?
