Quote from: Jamesy998 on December 29, 2020, 11:01:17 AMDr. Buldus patient who did 10cm on his femurs is running, jumping and sprinting after 11 months. 11 months from first surgery and not removal of fixators. This guy came by to see everyone and demonstrated everything in front of us, he is now lengthening his tibias.
Well, I already know about this guys, perhaps David is the exception and not the rule. After extensive research, most people simply recover much faster on Stryde and that's the truth. Just read 5 random femur Stryde diaries vs 5 femur LON diaries and compare them side by side. (I myself was considering LON instead of Stryde for economical reasons, but I will now delay a few months for Stryde).
Nevertheless this is just my opinion and I wish you the absolute best in your distraction and recovery

No doubt the wait is much more worth it then massive fixators on you’re legs, especially if you are on the younger side.
This is my pictures one day post op. The blue marker is where the bone was cut.

Your approach for nail insertion is time saving for dr. but bad for you
Below are the vitamins I am taking including the 2 drops of devit 3 every 14 days. My favorite pain killer would be the Novalgin which is not addictive and relieves the minor pains I have during the day. Coraspin once a day as the blood thinner, dolorex is good for pain but I do not use it as it is bad for bone healing, and the contramal is a very strong pain killer so unless I am in a lot of pain I will try not to use that as much as I can.

Quote from: Tokito_Ohma on December 29, 2020, 10:39:31 AMWhat about recovery? Some of us only want one surgery and recover as optimally and as fast as possible. We've seen people jogging 4 month post of with Stryde, sprinting 6 months post op.
As you can imagine by reading the op's diary, getting back from being crippled is very huge for your mental health. Imagine still limping around after 1 year post op? But hey! You saved 50k right??
Of course,but 50k surgery is impossible for many,and will take years of saving to get there,16-20k on the other hand,it's feasible,that's why i'm here,Lon method is still the most used method in the world,and though of course stryde will always be better,i believe Lon method with an experienced surgeon can still be a good way,my choice is for the moment Dr Giotikas for stryde,but in the meantime ( probably several years ),i'm considering every possibility,just imagine for a sec,if this Buldu doc is capable,i could realize my dream in the coming 6 months,with stryde method i would probably be waiting 5 years or more,it's worth considering
