Quote from: California2 on November 08, 2019, 01:43:14 AMI don't know Great's healing timeline so I cannot speak to our differences or similarities but write to remind you that two schools of thought exist on the topic of weight-bearing before significant consolidation.
One says walk early and often and make bone grow. The other says walking before 75% consolidation is too risky because it is easy to break your ankle screws and drive your nail through your heel.
My surgical team strongly holds the latter opinion. I suspect I could have began walking earlier; however, I decided it was prudent to follow the advice of my surgical team.
But even after understanding this split in doctrine, you are already cleared for walking so your issue seems to be more of "will LATN improve my recovery at this stage?" And if so, "does the probable improvement justify the risks of surgery?"
Best of luck whatever you decide.
Yes you are pretty much on point with my case. I know it shouldnt be such a tough decision but i equally weigh both things(pros and cons) and im stuck in the middle really. :/

How are you doing, Sanity?
im doing good. new xrays showed good progress, i wil probably upload the xrays sometime these days.
1 frame is off. 1 to go....soon
ok so the frames r off, walking is pretty normal much better than i expected. the only thing is there is slight weird kind of pain in the right knee while walking. i cant even classify it as pain but more like a weird tingly feeling. i hope it goes away once i resume walking normally coz its only been a couple of weeks walking without frame. if any1 had this experienceplz share.
Hi Sanity, how was the recovery like after the removal? Were you advised to start walking unaided as much or told to stay off walking?

i was only told to use crutches for a few days thats all. anyways recovery is fine. just the right knee feels a bit choppy, but i guess resuming normal functions wud remove that. the fcking height neurosis is gone so thats the biggest achievement.
Wow good to hear! Hopefully my recovery post removal will be a smooth sailing one.
i dont know if il be able to respond or come here again and write. what i will say is at the end of it all, dont do this surgery if u think gaining 2 inches will change everything and make u happier. it will not make you happier or atleast it didnt for me. I still need my cigretes and zone out sometimes in my head. yes it will help remove height neurosis tho if u had it to begin with. thats probably all.
at the end i will say just use ur time instead to better ur lives, make good friends and try not to focus too much on physicality of urselves and others, even tho thats how this social media generation is coming up to be. just use ur time wisely please. i honestly dont know where true happines lies....
Do you suggest don't do this surgery?it is doesn't worth?
