Hi Jamesy998, firstly good luck with your process! I wanted to ask if there's already a few mm gap right after the surgery? I mean, do you actually gain 1-2 mm during the surgery? It seems like that at your X-Rays.

I have no idea to be honest with you.

Only thing I ever worry about is ROM, that is all. Other than that I feel great. Maybe my ROM is horrid because I am only 7 days post op.

I live in the UK and seriously considering LON fermos lengthening to 7 or 7.5cm in turkey.
How much does device stick out? Ill have to go back to UK and was wondering if I could wear baggy joggers?
Also I have a job and can work from home until we are told by the government to go back to work (probably summer) so I think i can get away with having the surgery and not going into work. Do you think you are able to sit on a chair for a few hours with rests after a couple of weeks since the surgery?
There are people that have done it before but it seems barbaric. They do not stick out too much but the pants wont exactly hide them because the devices are rather tall.
Hey man,how are you doing ?Did you start lenghtining ?

- Happy New Year everyone, hopefully it will go well. Just a little update since last post. In terms of ROM, nothing has changed at all. Since my ROM at the moment is so bad I will be calling a physiotherapist in the next day or two to start a program. Right knee is still giving me trouble in the sense that it bends less then the left knee. I have not been doing much walking lately other than to go to the bathroom or stretch. My scars are very itchy which is a good thing since it means they are healing up.
So far I have lengthened about 4mm. Zero pain other than the occasional sore feeling around the pinsites. The ROM is the only thing that has me worried for the time being. Always wondered if one could go through entire lengthening with limited ROM and then work on it in the phase after the lengthening during consolidation?
Watch Netflix all day and doing some study work as I am a part time student. That is pretty much it, I rebandage every three days and religiously clean my pinsite areas with alcohol to avoid any infection.
Doing PT is a good idea anyway. It definitely helps to have someone else stretch you since you can't do everything by yourself. Glad to hear that your pain levels are tolerable now!
I have a genuine curiosity. What made you choose buldu? How come people don’t use leonid in Russia recently? I was considering him parihar or buldu, he’s very experienced and also a lot less, and that area of Russia appears to be very safe after research althoughy cold.
I currently have enough to pay for stryde after years of saving but do not want to spend all my savings on one thing. Just trying to figure out if I should just end up using stryde or doing LON femur with one of these doctors. What attracted you to buldu personally?
