Diary - 5cm LON Tibia in hanoi by Dr. Doan

Edit Post

I've been there, in Vietnam you'll see people do 7cm as the standard, some'll go as crazy as 8 9 10 so you'll feel super safe doing 5cm lol

that’s reassuring, i am getting some type of anxiety now that I have been in vietnam for quite awhile. I came here alone without telling my family or friends and being in a foreign land and not being able to speak the language is making me uneasy. I seem to have lost the ‘confidence’ that i had before doing the surgery, thinking it is some minor surgery.. but now that I have my legs broken, I am seeing the reality that this surgery is not as simple as just a wisdom tooth surgery.

I hope everything will be alright for me and I can return back home safely

I am not sure if it is because of the paracetamol and tramadol that are messing with my brain receptors

physiotherapy yesterday hurts so bad i cried for the first time in many years. the pain lasted till today I do not think I can continue with physiotherapy. I think i should listen to my body and take a rest.

Edit Post

can someone tell me if my physiotherapist is doing something wrong? I am in alot of pain, the previous session he forcibly stretch my ankles and i am still hurting today

Perhaps it's time to slow down. I think you should tell your doctor about the pain. Do you feel the pain when you don't have PT?

Edit Post

I cried alot today because the painkillers would not make the pain go away. I had to put ice on my legs to feel a little better. The previous pt was too intense and my body was not ready for it

Why not aim for 6cm?

I don’t have the time and I am already in quite a bit of pain at 2.3cm

Since you will probably only do it once isnt it better to get the most out of it? I heard some people regret not going for more after finishing their lengthening, 5cm gains doesnt seem that visible but you do whatever works for you. Good luck!
