And regarding proportions even though i think my femur was short pre OP going above 6 cm starts to look weird at least on me.

Quote from: InferiorityComplex on October 03, 2017, 01:19:00 AMIn response to lengthening on the same nail, i use Fitbone. I met Guichet personally but promised myself to trust my gut and never go with him. I definitely do not feel like Im in a medieval torture instrument, but going from 0 stretching feelings or any tension at all to definitely feeling something.

Ok, you're watching your xrays carefully and you've beautiful clouds and calluses, right?  Because the non-union guy with me at NHS didn't feel any stretch at all during his entire lengthening to 7cm, and he had zero calluses and finally after 2 years, they finally appear though not fully joined/consolidated yet.

Also, you're absolutely right, after about 5-6cm, each 1cm of extra length compounds your complications exponentially, it's not a linear projection.  Risks are higher and healing takes much much longer.

So, you're wise to veer on the safe side.

That said, my poor NHS doc keeps telling me, PLEASE STOP GOING ONLINE TO RESEARCH about bone fusion since you've so much time on your hands and are so desperate  UNICORN - Dr. Guichet Internal Femurs 8cm - Summer 2016

It is quite funny because that's all I do every day...  thinking about teriparatide, insuline-like growth factor 1, HGH, bone printing tech etc. and the more I search, the deeper I lose myself inside the dark net UNICORN - Dr. Guichet Internal Femurs 8cm - Summer 2016

Quote from: Unicorn888 on October 02, 2017, 11:51:23 PMHe prescribes a high dosage of aspirin up to 1,200mg throughout the entire lengthening period, and even after that, during the consolidation/recovery period.  He believes that thinner blood helps healing better.  So we all have to follow.  I already got screamed at in November because I stopped aspirin after I stopped lengthening.

I was always under the impression that aspirin prevents bone healing like NSAIDS and if there's a blood clot situation, heparin/warfarin can be used for a short period.

Again, we don't/didn't know enough to disobey our doctor.  It's only during my second left leg lengthening when I was so desperate that I began experimenting a little since nothing had worked for the right leg, so I literally had nothing left to lose.
Only a moron could prescribe aspirin during LL.
Guichet is really dangerous.

Hi Prakash,

Yes, I think overdosing on calcium  UNICORN - Dr. Guichet Internal Femurs 8cm - Summer 2016

1,000mg of calcium, algaecal, lots of cheese, eggs, meat, protein powder, sardines, kale and even bone marrow UNICORN - Dr. Guichet Internal Femurs 8cm - Summer 2016

Have been trying everything and one of the most important being a rich protein and calcium based diet UNICORN - Dr. Guichet Internal Femurs 8cm - Summer 2016

LOL. You're Guichet's troll. Monegal is more dangerous. He forgets prescribing heparine.

I am not comparing Guichet with Monegal to find who is the most stupid and incapable.
And you are a troll with a psychosis with Monegal, I am an LL veteran with a diary on the old forum.

So stfu before refering to me again and continue your complexes with Monegal in topics that has to do with him.
Here is Unicorn's diary who is Guichet's patient.
