These.





Do you guys get disability assistance from the government in the U.S.? If yes, that's a win-win. You can live a normal life plus free money and a badass looking leg.


Edit: Saw them at a clinic here in Canada.

I wouldn't call an amputation a win.

Not when you have an uber bad leg that hinders you from living your life.

If you are able to walk with your natural leg then thats better than have a prosthesis.
Its to early to think about that. You had surgery some months ago and you are improving.

By other way. You didnt do a good rehabilitation. So there is no way to think about that.

kirkp,

we have never met... ever.... we have never et in our lives... the information you know about me  is limited to my words

 we dont even have mutual friends


 your idea is that if i can hobble around at all on this leg, then that's better than  an advanced prosthesis... which is just not the case

I wanna know the rehab that's going to fix my achilles, or my nerve damage, or my arthritis in my ankle???  is rehab gonna fix the length discrepancy??

you are still  in early recovery, and  people in recovery do not wanna hear stories like mine... which is understandable

I'm not going  to get my lower leg amputated next week.... but I'm realistic

I'll do more rehab.... and even though theres guys here that did absolutely nothing, and don't have my issues... i'll give it more time

but i dont see how more recovery and rehab is fixing my destroyed achilles.... look at the scar... or the arthritis.... or the nerve damage


there's no rehab thats fixing any of those things.... and those arent my only left leg issues

My left leg is noticeably bigger than my right leg too... my theory is that shah   hurt my circulation, or  damaged the blood  vessels there, and it's never recovered... because it looks bloated  to this day...

my right leg is much better

 THERES NO REHAB THAT'S FIXING  ANY OF THE THINGS I  HAVE

The right leg,  more rehab might fix my leg to 90 or 95%... because its likely only  weak muscles for the most part

 my lower left leg is a mess... doing heel raises with my left leg is torture.... ive got a wrecked achilles and arthritis in my ankle.... not a good combination...

you can ask monegal if im exaggerating... he's the one that noticed the arthritis in the left ankle on the x ray... caused by my former deformity

I am sorry about your condition crimsontide and I hope you do better whatever your decision. In Mumbai Dr. Shah has some TV advertisement and he says he treated an actress in the country for height increase, but I did not like that the hospital is in a apartment building. I insist I will only do this in the US. Do you think Shah did this to you on purpose? Or was it neglect? Or him not knowing what he is doing? He is trained by Paley and Catagni so I was thinking that he should technically have the skill even though the clinic is very poor.

Hi deepak...

I'll be ok... the thought of amputation does not get me even a lil depressed... all I think of is it letting me walk again with full mobility... just gotta be positive

his "hospital"  could not be called a hospital by the standards of America

it's in an alleyway.... and it's what we would call a clinic... except he has an operating room in there..

I can't say shah did it on purpose, but ill give you a glimpse into his mindset

the day of my surgery... i was given anaesthetic... and brought to the or... this was september of 2014...

when i was  about to be operaed on...  the power went out.... it turns out mumbai had a citywide power outage that day

he was going to do the surgery anyway... with this  makeshift light.... until he finally decided it was just too dark to do the surgery in those conditions

so you can see 2 sides to this story

1- he could have just said, fk it, and did it, which he did not do

2-the fact he even was thinking about performing a surgery in  dim light, and poor working conditions

Shah is just your typical indian dr.... he will tell you there are no worries, everything will be perfect

do not trust him

He told me before he took my frames off , "no way your left leg will bend"

well... months later, I told him how badly my leg was... his reply "" we expected this, no worries... come here, i will fix it"

he flat out lied... he also wanted to charge me more for the corrective surgery than i paid for  first one

no other dr  would have taken my frames off.... i think


also.... people mention rehab

I HAD A FULL LEG CAST ON EACH LEG

 i had them on for like 8 weeks because of shah... and you cant rehab wth a cast on... it set me back months and months

muscles atrophy in leg casts
