Femurs & Tibias with Dr Paley

Edit Post

Tibia also has two bones and usually consolidate slower.

You Femur vs Tibia comparison is so far the best here!
i cant even pick tibia for various reasons, so only option for me is femurs to also avoid knee pain which i naturally suffer from, so im trying to avoid anything that would affect knees. or ligaments around it.
Is being non muscular in femur leak very weak muscles, does that make process harder or easier in terms of pain wise?
Also did you do IT Band release ? - how is it and can i go thru this without having to do such thing?

Paley mentioned in his conference video that even a gymnast got duck ass with 8cm femur without IT band release.  So it’s not avoidable to have IT bands release.   Some people need more than IT bands, they charge extra for bicep tendon release

hi MyEvolution, that is quite a bit of write-out! really appreciate your sharing of your experience. It is really insightful!
Both lengthening are not easy. Reaching 8cm in femurs seems a guarantee for lot of people, but reaching 5+cm in tibias seem much harder. Would you think it would have a better chance to reach 6+cm in tibias if doing tibias first? Not sure what is Dr. Paley's take on this...

thats very discouraging because having to cut all that would definitely affect walking and joints.
these things are what discourage me from the surgery.

Someone needs to start a CLL Hall of Fame...lol. I certainly have a few people I would nominate. 

All the best,

Hahah thank you that’s honourable but dont give me that glory just yet. Only at 3.67cm so far still got 4 ish cm to go!!

Alright guys it’s time for a meaningful update

Length:
- 4cm as of tomorrow

Pain
- it’s been a week since i’ve had this rediculous pain on my right leg. It feels like shin splints hurts everytime I walk or try to straighten my knee idk why i hope it goes away soon. Probably one of those lengthening pains that’ll fade soon

Splints
- i been wearing them during the day no problem. At night I still havnt been able to wear them for a full 8 hours. I wake up at night and my legs are throbbing and numb so i take them off, fall asleep. Wakeup randomally in a couple hours put them back on, fall asleep and repeat cycle

Dorsiflexion
- yesterday i was measured 20 degrees left leg, 25 degrees right leg
- today by a different pt guy & a different test, 20 degrees both legs
- you are required to maintain 5-15 degrees to be allowed to keep lengthening. I am in fact, FINALLY ahead of the game. I can’t believe i went from merely getting 8 degrees and 10 degrees almost being stopped to now 20 friggen degrees. Discipline & consistency truly pays off

Changes
- i’ve discovered a hack for getting that deeper stretch
- if possible have two bars one on each side (kinda like how stairs have bars when u go up)
And in the middle put your sland board paralell
That way when u stand on the slant board u have the two bars on each side for support
Not only that but u can slowly pull yourself down so that you are flat on the slant board while remaining upright and not cheating. It’s amazing. Ive only been able to do this at PT so far, trying to set it up at home but i’m sure i’ll figure it out

Projections
- I strongly believe at this pace I will easily hit 6cm & WILL march towards 8cm SAFETLY as I am nowhere near ballerina


Happy thanksgiving guys. I have a walking video if you guys want me to upload it lmk
Cheers

Happy holidays, you're at the midway point!

I would be interested in seeing your scars. Are they hidden well beneath your hair? Just hope they won't be visible after some time.

Also have you talked to Paley about his opinion regarding that nail in the foot to prevent ballerina? Doesn't seem as if you need it now though.
