To those who have had LL

Edit Post

To me it looks like the older you get the weaker, your legs get, at age 50 any normal person would loose their previous athletic abilities...

And it seems like, if you get the surgery done at a younger age the better the results are, and you heal better over time


From reading the other peoples feedback, complications etc, seems like every LL’er has/had some sort of problems, after.


Knee problem etc..

Or is it due to the lack of stretching, working out when you had done the surgery ...?

It's unavoidable.

Stretch the body out unnaturally and you'll get complications of some kind.  It's only to what degree that's in question.

What do you think about yoga positions though? I've seen extremely weird stretches in yoga but hardly any complications at least from what I've heard.

Surgically lengthening a fully-grown adult's legs goes way beyond what yoga poses can do.
