May I know how much does it cost to install nails on the tibia?

your frames look super cool in those pics. I'm currently doing LL in Volgograd Russia with Dr. Barinov. Almost done lengthening. Enjoying your diary and wish you good health.

it's pretty much what happens when you try to explain LL to someone thats not in the LL community

Yep, I can't help myself but to read those Imgur comments. Granted, not many imagine that this is voluntary surgery.

Quote from: Hamiltonzac on January 26, 2018, 05:21:19 AMExactly why it's pointless to explain in the first place. And I dont know if you know the forum page called bodybuildingforums but it's complete cancer

I've seen a post there with a person who knew very little about CLL, but more than the others. He basically enlightened everyone there that doctors will continuously break your bones over and over; made LL sound painless in comparison.

It all varies on different factors. What hospital you choose. Type of nails used and how many days youll be in hospital. Here is dr kulesh estimates.
Second surgery:
We recommend:
in private clinic - 296.000 (LATN – second step)
+ cost of 2 nails:
110.000x2 = 220.000 (Chinese nails)
130.000x2 = 260.000 (American nails)
+ 3 days in clinic:
8.532x3=25.596 (double room)
11.340x3=34.020 (single room)
19.872x3=59.616 (lux room)
OR
in private clinic - 137.000 (LON – second step)
+ 2 days in clinic:
8.532x2=17.064 (double room)
11.340x2=22.680 (single room)
19.872x2=39.744 (lux room)
 
We consider admissible:
in municipal clinic – 148.000 (LATN – second step)
(without visa – 240.000)
+ cost of 2 nails:
23.000x2 = 46.000 (Russian nails)
57.500x2 = 115.000 (American nails)
+ 3 days in clinic:
4.400x3=13.200 (single room)
4.700 x3=14.100 (lux room)
OR
in municipal clinic – 73.000 (LON – second step)
(without visa – 163.000)
+ 2 days in clinic:
4.400x2=8.800 (single room)
4.700 x2=9.400 (lux room)

The trip after my surgery was really painful. 14 hours in a plane with frames and just a week after surgery is not easy. I was lucky enough that the 10 hours from Moscow to NewYork the plane was not full so i actually had a full 3 seats to myself but even then i was still in pain constantly having to move positions and stretch. On the way back to Russia for frame removal i thought i would be better but again its really uncomfortable because of the femur frame. I think if it was just tibias it would be a lot easier.  Im actually leaving Russia as we speak. No frames on tho but i just had them removed friday so its not even a week so im still sore. I paid extra for the premium economy seat on the 10hour flight so hopefully its not so bad. I will give everyone an update of how everything went when i arrive home.

hey guys
new here and very confused

i'm thinking about LL for a while and don't know really how you guys chose your Dr, i'v sent message to a few Dr and they never got back back to me

I don't have money to do it with Paley so my options are limited to the cheapest,
Also nobody talks about taking such a long time off from work, i still don't know how long i should take my time off from work and how i can do that , since i can't talk about what i'm doing to anybody

my budget is limited
do you guys know how i can talk to Dr Solomin or other Russian Dr? i just wanna arrange a consultation fly to Russia from Canada and then do it!!

I'm thinking about 3inch 7.5 to 8 on my femur

It's a big decision because i do martial art and i got flexible legs, Split, not a problem and i know after all these im gonna loose it all!!'but i have made my mind!!

Make sure you're sending your inquiries to the right addresses. Email both at same time, but expect only Dr. Kulesh to respond:

About taking time off, I'm going to just quit my job, staying wherever the clinic is to make recovery as easy and safe as possible. Look around the forums and you'll see this mentioned by others too, like Purushrottam. Some take a month or more off in the form of a sabbatical, don't expect to do that unless you've been with a company for a while. And if you're doing external femurs, you're really going to regret having to work.
