Quote from: Uppland on January 12, 2015, 01:45:32 PMI also thin about doing 6,5 with Guichet because the femur bone is slightly tilted so that way I should be 6CM taller. Do you feel like that is too much or did Guichet insinuate that less should be safer in any way?
I think he believes 7-8cm is the "safe" max. I'll ask him.

Thanks mate you're great.
I saw Forced Puberty post that one shouldn't lenghten to fast (no faster than 0,66mm he said) if you want your recovery going well. I don't know if that's true but you should ask Guichet if you can slow down -safety first right?
Stay safe mate I really hope you recover as well as possible.

Is that for tibias or femurs, though? Femurs you can go faster, but Dr G said as of tomorrow we are slowing down a bit to help sleep and reduce some pain. I'm a little annoyed, but I'm still going home the first week of Feb, even if I have to click a few days at home to get to 6.5cm. I've been away since Nov 11, and I'm just tired of the loneliness at this point.
My checkup today at isokinetic went well. At around 4.5cm (guess-stimate), my SLR is around 80/85 degrees and my knee flexion is still excellent. So my flexibility has been hanging in there at least.
Most of my knee pain is now gone, but now my right leg (hip and outer thigh) is killing me.

It's for soft tissue in general it hurts when it's stretched beyond it's natural limits. Nerves get pulled out and may press against tight muscles and so. It's probably that kind of stuff that hurts so much for you. It's also supposed to help your post-op recovery if you lenghten slower because the body has more time to adjust and takes less damage. Remember that while you feel lonely and are in pain now it's better than facing a lifetime of worsened physical agility that could have been prevented.

Yea I don't mind slowing down too much. I want this done safely! And if it'll reduce pain and help sleep I'm all for it. Even if it means I may have to click a few days back at home.

I am interested in Dr Guichet could you tell me how your experience with him, the clinic, the staff and the city has been so far? Thanks and I look forward to seeing you recover mate.

me too i might do internal femurs.... but only a few cm..but may not be worth the cost if i just do 4 cm.. 
The only thing holding me back is this mutha f#%*ing lack of sleep. Supposedly it'll improve as we've slowed lengthening down (day 3 now) and I'm getting a bike to cycle at night (supposedly this helps too, but I'll believe it when I sleep more than 2 hours).
Be warned...if you do internal femurs, sleep will be a thing of the past. If it weren't for this, I'd be pretty much golden right now.

I don't sleep bc of muscle tightness waking me up every night. I'm averaging maybe 3-4 hours a night, and it's going to kill me. For me, this is my only current real roadblock.
It's really reakly wearing on me. About 3 weeks of hell on earth to go. Wonder if it will even have been worth all this...
