Can you describe the pain? I personally suggest you taking a week or two break and then continue clicking to 7.0 or 7.5 cm. It's understood that it's hard, but you keep the height forever and the pain is going to disappear very shortly after aborting the lengthening.

Absolutely not. I'm done now. I have to get back to work and my life. I don't have the leisure of running my own business or still being in college like many on here do. I already feel like I got closer to 7cm anyway. God knows how many months it'll be until I'm walking normally again. I feel so useless right now and I'm tired of it.
The pain is excruciating. Remember, Dr. G doesn't give ITB releases...so both of my ITB's (particularly, my right leg) are in a LOT of pain, especially when I have to move or put some weight on them. My ankles also hurt, my knee flexion is horrible, and I have nerve pain on my right leg that goes all the way down to my foot. And the pain meds do NOTHING for any of this. And it's gotten really bad the past 3 weeks. I would say, starting at the 2 inch mark, things got really really bad pain wise.
My body is telling me it's time to stop, so I'm just done. 6.5cm was always my goal, and I think I even did more than that, but 6.5 was always my goal. Another .5cm really isn't gonna make much of a difference anyway.
Well congratulation on being finished, 6,5CM is my goal as well I think.
What does Guichet say about your pain, how does he think you'll recover?
-Also how was it staying in Milan, and how is Dr. Guichets facilities?

Thanks man. I think my gain of 6.5cm+ is pretty solid. I definitely feel taller and my family says I look a lot taller now. I've seen so many on here take so long to recover for gains over 6.5cm and it kinda freaks me out a bit.
He says my pain is normal and will go away. I was just one of the unlucky ones who had a lot of pain. It should start to improve now that clicking is done.
I did most of this in London but the facilities in both places (Milan and London) were excellent.

Alright man that's good news, sounds like the worst is through. Please keep us updated on your recovery, I'm sure there are a lot of internal femur patients on here who can share what worked for them.

I'll definitely keep you guys posted on my recovery!
I actually did some extra clicks tonight. I have to physically return to my office second week of March, and I'd love to be off crutches by then (even if walking funny/stiffly). But I may do some light clicking for 2-3 more days max just for good measure. I noticed less pain today due to less clicks, but I do need to begin the true recovery process as soon as possible. But I'm inclined to believe I actually got around 6.7-6.8ish cm, but I'll be conservative and say 6.53 (with tonight's clicks lol).
Keep in mind that, because of the natural angle of the femurs, you gain less height than what you click. It's the Pythagoroean theorem in the real world essentially, lol. Look up an X-ray of the legs to see what I mean about angulation of the femurs.

Yeah I considered this. I was bow legged (albeit slightly) below the surgery, and now I'm not. I remember before the surgery I'd look in the mirror and try to see if "correcting" the bow legs would add some height, and it did seem like it added a tiny bit. So maybe correcting my bow legs might somewhat make up for it.
Regardless, I don't want to obsess about this too much. I did this to get to 5'8" or as close to it as possible. I feel taller and people are noticing. My dad noticed at just one inch taller at the start of the process. I have a lot of other things going for me...but for me, being 166cm (even despite my success with women and career) was just unacceptable. And now I've done the best I could do and worked my ass off to correct it. It's time to move on. I don't feel like a midget anymore.
The total time to achieve your goal is 2 month.start from15 dec to 15 feb and complete 6.5 cm.Then please update in recovery phase. BEST OF LUCk
Yellowspike have you asked guichet about the angle of your femurs, we recently had a topic about this where some people thought it could cause problems with your gait and put etra pressure on your knees.
Dr. Monegal said it's avoidable with a good surgeon, what does Guichet think?
