Yes this surgery is ver risky.Its a gamble.With 1 litle mistake in the surgery you can just screw your life.And a surgery for only cosmetic reasons.But still,many people doing it and will do.
Im just trying say-hopefully-it shouldnt be so bad and risky for a small amount of lengthening.
My mental pain is really bad right now,i doubt that physcial pain will be worse than mental after lengthening done.

1 little mistake and your life is screwed. I agree. Look at Crinsomtide and MusicMaker for example, and many others I have read about (Doingitforme, Cooper, DOingitforMe...). Be careful when choosing your doctor, but choosing a good doctor doesn't guarantee anything. This surgery is a gamble. Peaceout has reason.

Quote from: crimsontide on March 05, 2016, 01:07:28 AMwalking downstairs is such an ordeal

my quality of life now has plummetted. my function is greatly reduced

not sure how good right leg can become ,which is depressing me


walking downstairs is so difficult. life is not worth living if it stays like this

no one should get this surgery. its ruined the last 2 years of my life

this site contributes to the problem. id be much better off if i never heard of dr shah

if i cant get back to  normal relatively soon,that's it.. it's just not worth it living like this. others might be ok  being taller, but not being able to move quickly, or not running, or walking downstairs with great difficulty, but not I

Quote from: musicmaker on March 07, 2016, 10:19:39 PMHi ppatient! I'm fine. I'm currently using crutches. I had problems in the past, but recovery is good so far. Dr Monegal's medical team was very supportive.

Poor man... Shah sucks. More than 2 years recovery is unacceptable. People don't want to accept this surgery is a gamble and you have many chances of ruining your life. Some patients delude themselves into thinking they are OK but it's evident for everybody that they aren't. Medical teams are sometimes supportive, sometimes they aren't... but your life is screwed anyway. A recovery of 2 years or more like in your cases is unacceptable.

hasnt been 2 years yet for me

truthfully....   1 year is too long.... its just not worth it... ill never get this time back

for me to walk and run, im likely gonna need a prosthesis.. people should think about that

itll be kinda cool walking and running around with a below the leg prosthesis after   dealing with this  ty leg... but  if i had known   what wouldve happened, wouldnt have done it


i mean, i might as well have gotten a prosthesis in the first place and skipped this bull

I'm just looking forward to walking fast, and  jogging...

nothing new to say. condition hasnt gotten better

ill be seeing paley soon just to get x rays, prognosis.


i did about 23 straight very low squats...  but that fried my legs. left leg makes noises, hurts

then walking downstairs is a mess... the left leg hurts now.

i should have not gotten my leg "fixed" tbh... has not helped, and now i have some pain i didnt have before, maybe because of the nails

walking upstairs is not the same  as it was before, but definitely better, and i can do it, unlike  going downstairs which is a disaster

if i cant fix myself and walk normally, my l quality of life will be forever destroyed

DO NOT ASSUME your problem. Do tests. bones. Tendon. Muscles. Nerves may or may not heal but it might take years if you REALLY have nerve damage.

You are making noise when squatting which is an indication of your tendon misalignment, which tellls you that you need to work on your muscles as every physiotherapist will tell you the same.

After all Why didnt you go to any orthopedist in US instead of going to monegal even you have insurance?

nerve damage is not assumed... its there


and its been nore than a year, and has gotten worse if anything

drs will tell you that after a year, thats pretty much what youre stuck with  when it comes to nerve damage.  the % of people that get recover from nerve damage after a year is very low

ankle arthritis,  etc

tendon damage isnt going to be fixed unless its through surgery... dr shah cut and lengthened  the achilles

we'll see what happens... but im focused on totally fixing the right leg

left leg has too many issues... not wasting years trying to fix it when its  likely it'll never get better

Too many assertions made here and I don't know where you get those... Hope you be good. Can't help you here

Perhaps Monegal couldnt fix anything because of Dr Shah's mess but he should have recognized from the beginning that he couldn't help you. Perhaps he had other hidden interests (getting your money and / or using you as an ad for getting patients from this forum).

Going to Monegal was a waste of time and money for you, in my opinion.

By the way, I prefer other doctors, but I have nothing against Monegal. I dislike some of his patients, though. They act aggresively as a mob.
