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

Quote from: Daylight on February 21, 2014, 01:10:17 PMWith the born of this topic, I believe this forum is now officially superior to old forum . We are the people who can look at the reality in its eyes and make a wise decision. People on old forum  are a bunch of poor delusional people mislead by Apo. This is how CLL evolves guy. I really hope that more and more people will join the " no more than 5cm/segment" club, so we wont have to witness anymore heartbroken stories in the future. Now I only use old forum  to check on Sweden's diary.

guys, lets not make this a old forum  bashing topic. We have other threads for that. In fact old forum  is dying. The user activity is now way below this forum. I just hope Apo doesnt kill it. Way too valuable information there for newbies. I know someone here zipped it but unless the files in the zip is posted in a organized structure its not really comparable to old forum .

Remember we all started at old forum . I am grateful even though Apo permbanned me

The zip file contains a surfable archive of the site. If you haven't downloaded it yet, do it, the more people have it on their hard drives the better, just in case. Searching in it is not that easy unless you index all the files with some kind of html parsing software, but when browsing through it, it should "behave" exactly like the online forum does except for everything being read-only and static and from last year, obviously.

ok, I think I downloaded the zip for a long time ago (as you said, just in case) but I never bothered to check out the contents.

I did a surgery with Guichet on the femur about 35 day post op at about 4.6cm now. I am feeling fine and can extend my leg fully during night and sleep through the night without having to get up and go exercises. I can bend all my joints completely, but I have a problem walking with my legs closed.

I was wondering what your opinion is of me going past 5cm. How will I know there's a problem? How will I know when my body is started to get damaged? I am not a heavy sports person like you, but ideally I would like to be able to walk around on mountains to talk about philosophy and to also do long biking trips.

Thanks

Leechlet,

You should be good going over 5 cm on your femurs, but I wouldn't recommend your initial 10 cm goal.  Tibiae are generally harder to lengthen and face more complications as opposed to your femurs.  Someone else can probably explain why better than I could.

It's nice to see that this forum is an eye opening for those who are planning to do CLL safely .
i wish i would go back in time and did 6 cm even though right now i do not have any pain on my both knee at 8.3 cm except for my left tibia slightly not alligned at the degree of 5% to 10% which is causing little pain in my inner left ankle (fk Dr Sarin) .

i will be going to Mumbai on 27th this month to see if i can do correction if its possible , i will be visiting Dr Mangal Parihar and Dr Suhas shah (i believe they are the best doctors in india regarding Ilizarov Technique and of course Dr Milind Chaudhary) .

5 cm to max 6 cm on tibia is what i recommend to any future LL patients if they really want to be safe .
As for femur i believe 6 cm to max 7 cm to be safe (according to my research experience).

guys, morale of the thread dont become like Crazy or Apo (below):

Apo just posted a new photo of himself. I actually think he looks great, but that's just my opinion. He has his leg muscles back and his upper body looks very muscular in a lean way. He does look like a male model, imho.

Leechlet: you will feel it in your body when it starts to go tough.

Don't pass 7cm on your femurs.
