hey Yellowspike when will you have your X-RAYS?

Edit Post

My friend, all the information you need to decide between Dr. Guichet and Dr. Betz is on this site and on other sites.

But I'll give you Cliffnotes version - Dr. Guichet is better. If you can, go with him.

Quote from: YellowSpike on March 24, 2015, 08:20:39 PMWhen I had my initial consultation, he said I could probably expect between 6.5cm and 7cm, but that we'd have to be careful (I think he said this due to a contracture on my right leg, which hasn't caused many issues thus far). Towards the end of my lengthening, once I got to 6.5cm (based on the click tracking), he said that I could go as far as 7cm. I stopped around 6.85/6.9cm due to the bad left leg pain. And my goal was 6.5-7cm, so I guess I more or less got it. I guess, now that I'm "here," I wanted to push a bit more. However, my body needed a break 3 weeks ago, so I complied and gave it a break. I do know that I worked very hard in PT, and never missed a single session at the gym or isokinetic center. I know I'm being overly anal, and that's on me. I just want to be safely in the 5'8" range so I can at least be considered a "strong 5'8," if you will. It's a mental thing for me at this point, and I'm well aware of that.

Sometimes I wonder if an ITB release could have allowed me to lengthen a bit further. It's hard to say. Some say having an ITB release (I know Paley and Rozbruch do it on many patients) results in like a permanent 20% decrease in athletic ability. Overall, I would prefer not having the ITB release, since it's one less part of my body that was "messed with."

To answer your actual question, I believe you are correct. He may say "5cm," but maybe if you work more on yourself and go back, he may say otherwise.

Alright thanks, where you flexible when you had the consultation?

What can I do to increase my muscle resistance, like what stretches should I do roughly?

Edit Post

Yes, I was above average flexible before the surgery. My flexibly has been coming back pretty quickly, I must say.

To increase muscle resistance, focus on exercises that strengthen your quads, particularly, your lower quads. Leg extension, leg press, half-squats (don't go all the way down), etc.
