Hey Calic. I hope you are doing well. I was wondering if you'd ever experienced any knee pain/stiffness for having nails inserted into your tibiae during LON. If so, how long did it take for the pain to go away, or do you still have it? Also, can you move your little toes now? If so, how long did it take for you to get motion back?
Thanks, and have a happy New Year!

I had pain and stiffness in the knees when my frames were on and a few months after removal. Now when I am sitting on my knees I feel pain in my left knee but it has been going away slowly. Aside from that I have not had any other knee pain. I can walk, squat, and kneel without knee pain.
Yes, I can move my toes well now. Immediately after frame removal I could move them better and within a few months I had full motion of my toes.

I would recommend Dr. Sarin only if there was no other way you could afford a more expensive doctor and one should expect satisfactory care there but not great care. I have definitely seen a lot of questionable things happen while I was there.
I would recommend going to Russia or China over India since those clinics are much more established and experienced.
Hi Calic!
New member here. Glad to know you had such a smooth LL journey. Congrats! I am actually flying to India next week to have surgery with Dr. Sarin. NOT LL, though. I'm having leg shortening, which expects to have very fewer complications than LL, as it just mimics healing of a simple broken bone. I'm only staying there for 6 weeks too which I'm really happy about.
I was wondering if there were any female patients at the guesthouse while you were there? (Sweden: was Taller2Smaller2013 a leg shorting patient?) I am a girl, and I haven't read any female patient diaries. Would you say the guesthouse is a safe place for a female patient? No creepy male caretakers? lol.
I don't plan on even leaving the guesthouse to go out in town, as India is not a safe place for women right now. So any thoughts or advice would really help my nerves 
I have to say I like this forum better than old forum . SysOp won't even make me a real member so I can PM Sarin patients because he thinks I want LL, even though I said I wasn't going for that.
There's a female patient at Sarin's there right now, and she hasn't complained of feeling unsafe. They have her staying separate from the others, but she can still go see them if she wants. Maybe you'll be put together with her.

There were 2 female patients at the guest house when I was there. There were no significant problems while they were there. I think the guest house is definitely a safe place for a female patient. The caretakers were nice and well behaved

Wait, so you're getting leg shortening done for aesthetic reasons? 5'6" is such an awesome height for a woman. It's like *perfect* in my eyes.
