Did I tell you 3 hours? I think I might have thought 30 minutes to 1 hour. But in fact I train around 5 hours per week, so 45 minutes per day.

While in MIC I trained (stretching, swimming, cycling, weights) for 2 hours a day!
But now just I am justr trying to have the same activity level as before LL.

Yesterday I met my sister and 2 nephews.
Problem was that my nephews wanted to play soccers and then go swimming in the Meditarrenean.
I was afraid anybody would notice by my playing style and nked legs that I had done something to my legs, especially as my sister had adviced me to never do limb lengthening. But fortunately, except for my sister saying "You look somehow different, I think you look taller." nobody noticed anything.

Please do not play the soccer.My warning is you must wait till post-removal rod for 1 or 2 year.
If some thing  bad happen , you would get sorry

What is the issue with playing football if you are already fully consolidated? The bone should be as strong as before the fracture.

Stretched soft tissue

What do you mean? tendon ruptures? muscle contractures? I know most LL doctors allow sports when the bone is fully consolidated, not 1-2 years post nail removal

I also would like to know more about this!
Is it that the bone could hurt or is it that soft tissue might get damaged? And how?

I think the concern is if you get a broken bone for whatever reason, the rod will also break and will be very difficult to remove. Personally, I have refrained from sports until the fall, when I'll be getting the rods removed.

That's true, though I've never broken a bone in 23 years even though I've done all kind of sports. For me as soon as the bone is fully fused I'll start running and doing light sports. Nothing too crazy of course.

I am doing as LLSouthAmerica, sports yes, getting myself into unnecessary danger, no.
