I assume those who go through proper physical therapy do it about 4-5 per week and one hour per session. How many hours outside of PT do y’all stretch per day?

Every patient is different. I had to do it every two to four hours due to stretching being the only thing that relieved my pain. I was also very flexible in comparison to other patients but i also experienced more pain than the other patients were reporting. So it'll vary for everyone.

Which segment dod you lengthening and for how many cm? When did the pain came and when did it start to subside during lengthening?

I did it five days a week for the first two weeks, the. I went back to my hometown and the PT wasn’t very familiar with LL they only scheduled me twice a week but I did my own stretching at home almost everyday for the first four months, May 20th will be my 7th month. I only did 53cm so my recovery was faster than usual and fast bone consolidation. I’m close to almost sprinting, I can already jogged 3 miles on a treadmill at a 6.0 pace. Everyone is different though, that was my personal experience. I look forward to removing these by July according my doctor based on how fast my bone healed.

Femurs about 7.2 cm i believe. once i got to that point and measured myself and saw i exceeded my goal i stopped immediately due to how tight you will get from 7 cm and onward. Pain was there everyday from what i remember. Was bad enough where i couldn't sleep and would wake up in the middle of the night first 3-4 weeks. After that it calmed down but that tightness feeling remained. Its hard to describe. Best description is what others have said: "feels like a headache for your legs". Only way i felt relief was by stretching so i would stretch 2 hours before sleeping especially in order to get decent sleep. Me and my pt came up with that strategy and it worked.
