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.

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.

You shouldn't play sports at this stage. If your doctor approves this I would say Lluser is right about him being reckless and dangerous for patients.

Every doctor allows sports as soon as complete bone fusion is achieved. I don't know where those comments are coming from. Suddenly everyone is a LL doctor at this forum.

But bone fushion is achieved after more than one year. Running that soon sounds stupid to me. You risk a lot.
If you break your lengthened bones don't come here crying.

You are crazy and inventing facts. Paley, Guichet and most LL doctors calculate an average time of 6 months to go back to sports. If you learn something about medicine, you will know that for most people bone consolidation after femur fracture occurs in 4-6 months and tibia 7-9 months.

Totally agree!
Whimsical is right in that the costs of injury to the legs are much higher now that we have implants, and that therefore we have to take extra caution.

Update:
Just was out dancing and can say that I could so all moves I did before without a problem.
I am now able to run stair up, and almost "run" stairs down.
I can touch the floor with straight legs.
I can lift more than a quarter ton with my legs (standing position)
Left quadriceps is still the only problem: Last month I lifted 25 kg with the left and 50 kg with the right. Now I lift 75 kg with the right, but still only 50 kg (still 25 kg less) with the left leg (sitting position).

85kg bodyweight at your height, I have a hard time believing you have a 200kg squat.

1) It's not a squat. It's an exercise for the lower leg and not upper leg.
2) Those are lbs not kgs.

Still, good recovery congrats

You think these are lbs not kg?
Are you saying that all machines are in lbs rather than kg?
I had asked and was told by gym that all machines you see in video are kg. In fact, I asked the trainer to talk to his boss and he made fun of us, saying that we are in Spain, where we use metric system, so of course they would be in kg.

These are kg. But its not a squat. Is a Leg press machine. 200kg squat is a lot, competition level.
By the other way. Dont you think that maybe you are pushing things to hard doing that now?

I agree with Krp1. You are doing too much. What if you break your legs? What does your doctor think? If the nail breaks they will blame you.

Thanks KrP1 and Datum for your concern. I will take your concern to heart and ask the doctor on Monday, if he thinks I am stressing my bones too much.
Also, I plan to take another x-ray at the end of the month to see if I still need to be carefull in putting weight on the bone.
