Also calf raise like in the video is prohibited for tibia lengthening there until lengthening is finished
Calf raise will make calf muscles thicker and harder to stretch calves
He gave me more specific summaries;
About half an hour continuous standing calf stretch with straighten knees, sometimes less minutes depending muscle condition
Then about 5 min break
so I assume total set is like more than 15 sets everyday to reach 7 hours
It’s boring so he did it with listening audiobooks or watching videos
Only When he experienced continuous extreme pain, his brain started to induce endorphins
Endorphins won’t happen everyday, happened only when pain is extreme and continuous
After 4cm lengthening, his knees started contracture a bit, so PT ordered him to add leg press machine stretching
Later half of the lengthening he was doing longer hours, some days reached over 9 hours of stretching.
He also did knee stretches even when having meals
Update
I think i have been over stretching or over walking because when i touch my ankle it feels like an injury, it’s super swollen and i have been barely getting any sleep. Weird i thought my quality of life was going up, guess not yet still sorta going through hell. Its weid because only night time is difficult
During the day because i’m moving around alot and staying busy there isnt much focused pain. Only at night when i finally wanna relax it hits me
Oh poor boy
Do those splints hold calves very tight?
Maybe circulation isn’t good at night
Walking helps circulation during daytime I think
hi evolution. hang in there. that's what I tell myself too. all these shall pass. keep the eyes on the prize 
I have terrible news 
After my doctor visit and PT visits
My pt left leg is 7 degrees, right leg is 10 degrees. This however is while pushing hard
Doctor said my left leg is so tight that it is “stop worthy”
This week i will be 2x my PT & streching as much as possible
I have a doctor’s follow up appt on monday
He said i have a 0% chance of hitting 6cm. You guys know i am going to give it everything i got to try to go as far as we can but this is very sad news to me im stretching as much as i can and I am struggling really hard. Any help is helpful
As of today I have slowed down my lengthening to 2 turns / day
I am at 3cm
hi evolution. ever tot of slowing it even further. this will stretch and slow down the entire duration even taking breaks at the 5 or 6 cm mark but it will get u there safer and eventually. discuss with your doc further? worthy aspiration are never easy.. keep your fight going and keep forging new routes to your end goal as safe as u can
That's tough to hear from your doctor bro, but where there's a will there's a way, maybe just slow down distraction through out the rest of the process, might take you longer but if you really want to reach your goals you'll do what you got to do! anyway hope if all turns out in your favor bro, sending positivity your way, you got this !!
Average lengthening speed of tibia at Donghoon is much slower.
Only 4cm for 3 months.
This is to reduce risks such as non union, pain and contracture
The 7.6 guy took 6 months to reach to that much
You are still going ahead, if your consolidation arrows, better to do slowly
The 7.6 guy overcame a slight BF at 5cm by slowing down
It took about 3 weeks to increase dorsiflexion for him after the very slight BF
just like your condition considered as a slight BF
Some people slow down to 0.25cm a day

I don't mean to be harsh or be that guy, but I think you should count your blessings here and consider stopping soon. You've already gained quite a bit and I just don't see any reason for you to worry too much about trying to gain just a couple more CM at the cost of functional legs. Listen very closely to what your doctor says
