Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on February 02, 2022, 07:47:01 PMThe short, hand/arm support crutches are appropriate for people with two bad legs. Armpit crutches are for people with one bad leg.
So with both legs with externals you would advise short crutches or only if one of the legs is bringing extra problems?
With frames on I would recommend a walker.

Thanks. You did externals, no? You tolerated a walker for how many months?
Even if I use the LONG method I can't fully deadlift or walk until my bones are fully consolidated? My family often asks me to leave the walker to practice walking and squatting, I think this may be the reason why my height shrunk after I stopped lengthening.

I think you can do bodyweight stuff and the such until you're fully consolidated.
I don't know if it's because of the squat, but at the moment I'm gradually losing height, spending a lot of money and time and physical pain and not getting the height I should be, it's frustrating.

Wait, what? How are you losing height?
No idea. From 173+ to 170
In another topic somebody said loss of weight was due to muscle atrophy for being too much time in bed or immobilised, but not sure, because in general, the less a man exercises, the fatter and heavier he gets. Maybe then muscle mass, being heavier, is lost quicker than fat is acquired??
But maybe that explanation was for example for Precice; doing externals allows some body bearing, efforts to move the crutches, the walker or even a wheelchair, as well as desirably, daily physiotherapy and bike from the beginning, so it would be natural to lose some weight from that "side".
This would be also choerent with some reports also here in the forum that people doing LL also lose appetite, at least during some time.

That's really strange. What does your doctor say?
