this guy had done 10cm in tibia , what do you think
This Korean doctor have some bad reputation
 so be careful to believe 10cmis done safely
In Korea there are like 5 or 6 clinics perming CLL and some clinics are not good at all

My left leg is too painful to sleep , I think ill took xray to check it :((

Have you tried to make it more comfortable for your legs? Order 1-2 blankets and two different sized pillows (a small and a medium sized pillow). Tell someone to fold the blankets and put them at the end of the bed so that you can lie your tibias on top of them. But the blanket on top should have an even/smooth material so that whenever you move your legs you don't get stuck.

If possible turn on your side and put the pillow that fits best for you underneath the knee whose inside faces the bed. It helped me to sleep very good. Good luck.

They don't look infected to me; they're not supposed to look like oil paintings! They look similar to how mine looked during lengthening and I never had an infection.

But if you have symptoms of an infection better safe than sorry I guess.

Good luck with the rest of your lengthening!

How are you getting your physiotherapy done? From my knowledge you'll get bad equinus without pt for >5cm lenghtening
its depend on your flexibility before surgery and streching  process  in distraction phase. im do it by my self at home

Wow 7cm in tibia!!  You did it man!!  Congrats!!
Pain will reduce everyday.  Just 3-4 days will be tough.  After that, you are free from frames and free to walk! (of course, it will take time to walk well. but you will get there.)
Hang in there just for another moment!!

That's some good development to walk unaided in three weeks, can you post you recent xray and are following any PT for workouts or working on your own?/

Pronation of your left foot is quite severe and this is probably causing the pain
Misalignment can produce long term problems such as arthritis
Pronation cause flat foot also

You may need to fix alignment of fibulas and tibias
May need to cut fibula
If tibias got rotational deformities, need to fix it by another surgery

Problems of ankles and feet can lead to joint pains of knees and spines in a long term
It should not be ignored

Temaki, he was flat footed to begin with I think. So how can you tell if the surgery caused flat foot?

And I think the last time dunghuynh2227 mentioned "flat" he meant no equinus.

Thanks for the video dunghuynh2227. Wishing you a great recovery mate!

I’m not talking about equinus
Pronation is a different problem

If you are that serious about CLL, why don’t you at least look up google and learn things instead of just following me.

Temaki, I know pronation is different than equinus. But when he said "My foot is flat now after many hours of stretching" I think he meant flat = equinus gone. Notice that he says "after many hours of stretching". This is the correct way removing equinus. Pronation is not removed by stretching as you may know.

Anyway my first question is how do you know he didn't have flat feet (not talking equinus here but literal "flat soles") before LL? I also see that he has flat soles in the barefoot video, but maybe he had it before LL also?

Patients at Donghoon are doing really long hours of stretching
BUt NO ONE got these pronation and flat foot problems
I suspect there are misalignments of tibias and fibulas with those problems
Especially these doctors who don’t fix fibulas, they are not aware of the risks

Yes I read that. How come you don't read what I wrote? I was thinking he meant "equinus gone" when he wrote that. Can you re-read what I wrote a few more times?

Anyway I think it's rude to argue on someone else's diary. And to bring up DongHoon in this is not really right. dunghuynh2227 went to a surgeon he liked and could afford and his LL is done.

I Googled it. Didn't I tell you I know what pronation means? ;)

I am curious to know. Are you a native English speaker? Are you pasting from Google translate? Your writing seems extremely strange to read.

yeah you are right. When i said my feet is flat now it mean equinus gone. But I also have flat-foot before the surgery and I live well with it for many years. Maybe he misunderstand because of my terrible writing skills .

It's hard to explain to Temaki who already made up his mind on the topic.
