Hi Guys,
Been a while since I've updated. I'll be sure to chime in shortly on here. I'm back to normal living! It is now 1 year and 3 months post-op. I will just say that the surgery was life changing, worth every penny and the best decision I have ever made.
Great to hear that everything is going good IFS! Have you had the rods removed yet? Do you find any niggles or pains after 1+ years post op?
Hi IFS!
I just did 7.5 cm internal femurs. I just realised I have an anterior pelvic tilt/ hyperlordosis. I know you also had it. Can you tell me what did you do to fix it? After how long did it go away? Did your height increase by like 1cm after fixing it?

Hi Nestor! Sorry for the delay in responding. It is now 1 year and 5 months since my surgery. I plan to have the Rods removed before the end of the year and likely within the next few months. I still have the rods in at this time. Right now, I rarely have any kind of pain and my legs feel completely normal. On occasion, I will feel a bit of soreness resulting from some tightness that I'm still working out in my quad muscles. All-in-All, I feel no pain and am very comfortable.
I'll be updating my diary shortly with more details related to my CLL outcomes, impacts, as well as the nail removal process.
All the Best,
IFS

Hi Snowpiecer,
I completely understand what you're going through. Here is the good news. APT WILL GO AWAY and it is NOT a permanent state for you. Within about 2 months after I completed distraction, the APT wasn't noticeable. I still felt it however and as each passing month goes by, APT will resolve itself.
To fix it: Walk 1-2 miles everyday at least, do exercises that will stretch your quadriceps, and strengthen your glutes. Also, incorporate abdominal workouts. Your APT is from tight hips/quads and weak butt, abs. Planks are one of my favorite exercises to combat this. In all, we're just talking about 20-30 minutes of stretching and strengthening in these areas, each day We should all be doing that anyways regardless of whether we did CLL or not. In my diary I listed several videos that can help. Please browse through when you have some time.
Good luck and All the best,
IFS

Hi Movie! It sure does, man. Congratulations on getting through the 'brunt' of the CLL journey. It's all good from here as we train and recover; but man o man; isn't it nice to walk again and be normal?! Ha - Ha. What a journey and life-changing. Another lease on life to be honest. Congratulations and let's keep in touch. Big things ahead for us both.
