The new paradigm in LL; no longer are we aiming for 10cm

Quote from: kusop on February 17, 2014, 11:55:49 PMthe most scary part about Crazy6+'s diary were the mind-boggling positive comments that people posted. I don't know if it was to obey the law and orders of old forum  or not, but I remember when crazy posted a full shot of his body. It looked like he was on stilts. I swear to God, I never seen any person more disproportionate and off-looking. It was a pic taken of him from behind, where he was standing in front of a bed and held his crutches midway up in air.

I cannot remember a single person tell the truth to him. Does anyone still have that pic?

This one?

(Normally I wouldn't post pics from that site, but since Gladiator2012 and Sysop refused to take down pics from Disobedient's friend on old forum , it's only fair).

Oh, this brings back memories. We were having a conversation about height. He said he would only go for white girls now that he's taller. And I ask where would he find white girls in India. It was quite egotistical. So while he stood up, I ask if he feels comfortable with me taking a pic of him. He said sure and while I'm at it, feel free to post it on old forum  for him because a lot of guys were questioning him about his proportion. That was the story.

This pic was taken when he was "skinny." He was much worst, like a ballon when I left.

Anyway, I will maybe do 7cm in the femur instead of they original 8cm which I planned for.

This brings back memories because now I'm thinking about my ex. I'm so out of sync with everyone on this site.

So if we could get back to the discussion at hand then, i would like to ask everyone with more knowledge than me about limb lengthening. After seeing all the evidence of how disastrous limb lengthening can be at extreme lengths, is 5cm tibs and 5cm femurs a more safer approach/goal?

Less will always be safer in general, but don't think that you'll be problem-free with 5/5, or guaranteed to have problems over 5/5.  Every body is different.

I actually don't have knee pain. It's only both of my ankles that are killing me, literally.
The right one can hurt up to 8-9 when I put load on it.
While sitting down it doesn't feel anything.

I can sense some kind of ache in my knees when I press really hard at the gym in leg sections and leg press.
Other than that - nothing in my knees. And I was running outside in the cold Swedish winter this December too.

Now I'm practically crippled 

Sitting at the hotel room right now in Thailand and need to climb furniture just to get to the bathroom. Right ankle is killing me

This thread alone makes me finally decide I won't go more than 6.5 cm (femur).

Is it true crazy+6 went from 5'4" to 5'11"?
That's 17cm!

Yeah, you probably read this from me. Haha :-)

My second roommate had bow leg correction in addition to lengthening. He was there to fix his bowleg. Height increase was just a bonus for him. He managed to obtain 7.2cm (his original goal was 8cm like me)

However, for him, he was different from the rest of the patient. He had his legs plated instead of having the nail inserted. Also, with having your legs plated the rate of consolidation is much faster because there are no interference from having the nail. My lower left leg was also plated and it consolidated 3 weeks after frame removal. So I get to experience both having the im nail inserted and having legs plated.

So if you're afraid of having im nail causing you permanent knee pain, then another option would be having your legs plated. I wouldn't go for purely external because you would have to wear the frame for too long.

My plan is to correct bow legs I got from playing soccer. Believe me or not but it looks like I was ridding a horse whole my life. Could u please explain a bit more about having legs plated? Would I gain that 4cm I want so bad just with having my legs plated? Does every LL surgeon also do those kind of operation?

Crazy is the typical Indian guy: always chomping at the bit for a white woman. Indeed, where will he find one in India? I haven't seen a single one in the four months I've been here. I wanted him to come and hold himself accountable like a man at the guest house, but I think his proportions might leave too severe a horror in my mind.
