My doc makes me extend my tibias 3 times a day, for a 1 mm total. Isnt it excessive? I heard that for tibias it should be less than .66mm aday. I have a nice blood flow through the area, and Im not gonna lie, I would like to finish it faster. Will that matter? What is a risk of non-union with such a speed of lengthening?
thanks for the answers guys
Im already doing stretching and exercise like crazy, hopefully the droping foot will happen later, rather than sooner. As for the screaming in pain, Im already getting some pain, specifically after every .3 lengthening session (internal magnetic). How does this peroneal nerve paralysis happens? Is it something I can prevent? So, there are some cases of people going as fast as 1mm with tibias? Anyways, Ill probably try to slow down the process a bit.

Sounds like a Turkish butcher clinic
This is incorrect and dangerous. Turkish and other sub standard clinics encourage unsafe lengthening speeds like this.
thanks, I wont try to push my luck, Im taking a day off. Thankfully I have a possibility to slow down my progress myself.
As for other things, I can feel that whenever I try to use my crutches and walk with them, Im getting a lot of crackling. The stretching comes from inside my calf/muscles (not the bone with rod I hope), its persistent and intense. It doesnt cause pain, on the contrary, walking with assistance makes my legs hurt less. Is it normal? Should I continue to walk it out? Im exactly at 1cm in distraction phase, right now (both legs).
bump. I still get the sensation inside my legs, and I dont know what it is
yea, point is, I dont really have any problems with ballerina foot (yet). My range of motion is pretty nice and Ive been working out before the LL. I just wonder how come my legs are crackling everytime I walk
Ah, thanks for the assurance guys. In other news, the pain after clicking is getting worse, I need to slow down just so that Im able to keep up with pain. Still going forward nicely, I think.
