How long do you need to take to recover for daily activities and work?

Say slightly physical jobs, like waitering, bartender etc. How long to recover from Tibias lengthening before you can work again?

Depends on how much you lengthen.

Lets say for 5cm or 6cm? Whats the average recovery time for each?

Its possible with a weight bearing internal nail to not look totally stupid at 4 months.  But you're not going to be 100%.  It will look like you tweaked your back and are walking stiff.  Thats about the best it gets from what I've seen.

Took me nine months after I stopped lengthening for most of the tightness, nerve pain go away and walk 100% normal. I lengthened 80mm

To clarify I did femurs

9 months after lengthening? So it took you one year, was this with Precice nail?
