I have see other ones reply,I think 5cm is enough,I'm 1.77-1.78cm.My dream is to be a singer or idol,I'm from a asia country(I would not tell you where).1.83cm is the perfect height in our country.I have no much time ,obviously I must recover to high level sports ability for dancing. so this is my choice 5cm is rea really enough .good wishes for you.

Thanks for the positive thoughts guys. I hit 5 cm today! I don't have any pain that Tylenol doesn't fix. I just have knee tightness, and extending my knees straight and sleep are still constant struggles. I think it doesn't help that my wheelchair does not allow my legs to be elevated into a position where my knees are straight, letting me constantly stretch, but the doctor bought some new wheelchairs that I will hopefully have access to early next week.

I will continue lengthening for now, and my xray next week will determine whether I stop.

Is he buying chairs now? He used to refer to an orthopedist who earned large amounts of money for each chair. I personally bought the chair from a previous patient. I wasn't going to spend $600 in a chair

Looking great!

I wish you a smooth and fast recovery.

So you spend thousands of dollars in the procedure, but don't want to spend some hundreds of bucks in a wheelchair. Truly amazing.

I’m sorry you had to buy your own, that’d be a hassle. It was never mentioned to me so I always assumed one was provided by the facility. Everyone lengthening here right now including myself was given one to use. They aren’t new, so maybe they are leftovers from previous patients? I’m definitely grateful that it’s not something I’ve had to worry about.

I must belong to Justice generation (who are you? PM me). Some patient bought chairs from the overpriced orthopedist recommended by Monegal and others bought them online or from patients who didn't need them anymore for half the price. I was irritated Monegal imposed that orthopedist to some patients, same with the fake unlicensed PT. We didn't like him but he OBLIGED us to hire him. He was abusive and impolite and tried to scam some patients.

I also got the same fake PT but not the orthopedist. I got my chair from another patient.

Dr. Monegal is the worst. Period. No exceptions.
Everything about this doctor and his staff are obviously a scam. He gets rich while you pay him to ruin your legs.
