How bad was your pain right out of surgery for its worst and how long did it last for?
And how bad was that surgical pain compared to the clicking pain? Is it the lengthening of the bone that is more painful or the clicking motion itself that hurts like a bitch?

The surgical pain doesnt matter at all.  It lasts like a few days and then its over.  It definitely sucks but it comes and goes and then its done.  The clicking however is a marathon of pain and discomfort.  Every day you have to do this sh!t.  And knowing its an everyday thing messes with your head.

Its both, the clicking hurts and feels unnatural, this is by far the worst part.  And then when you're done you have this mild distraction pain that lasts for like half the day and you also you get tight and everything you did to get loose is evaporated and you start over.

youre definitely right about the initial pain that it goes away quick and its a distant memory

but about the daily clicks, how much painkillers do you take? it shouldnt be such a torturous process with the clicks, especially its said betzbone clicks easier than guichet nail


as per the topic subject, for me as a lon tibia patient, id say the hardest part was to get used to back sleeping after a lifetime of side sleeping in the fetal position. took me 3 weeks of semi-insomnia to get used to it

if i could i wouldve taught myself back sleeping for 6 months before i started the LL process

I think some people have an easier time with the clicking.  I just absolutely hate it.

Honestly it seems people hate different things.  Like for me the stretching is no big deal.  I did like 4 hours this morning of stretching, walking and bike riding.  Whatever, that was easy.

And I like sleeping on my back, but you hated that.  So its just individual I suppose.

I take a fentanyl before I click.  100 micrograms (not to be confused with milligrams)
