I am going to give you a bit of advice, the Russian medical system is a lot different than the western ones. In all honesty, they are much less attentive, they seemingly care less, or push problems to the side compared to, say, Canada. This shouldn't worry you, Every week I was thinking my legs were either infected or I've pre-consolidated and I complained about it, and every week I was just fine. We get very pampered and are used to doctors attending every one of our needs, but it is a different world. If your doctor says it'll be okay, you have to trust him.
If there is a major problem, then the doctor will mention it. This surgery has been preformed a lot in this side of the world, and they should know best. It's very hard to not have this monkey on your back thinking everything is going to shiit, but try your best, trust your doc, and keep on training.

Yea im keep on turning and i hope ur right there. This is intense.
On my right foot at a certain movement i get intense pain like 10/10 for 2-3 secs and the muscles of foot spasms and shakes like an electric jolt. Then its completely fine. Sometimes it can happen at knee extended and sometimes on bent while trying to move foot im not sure at what exact position it can occur.
Due to its fear of happeneing im not moving my leg at all. Also not walking at all even to toilet because if this jolt occurs while standing il definetely fall. I don know if any1 experienced this weird jolt and extreme pain for 2 secs acxompanied by a total foot spasm.
How's the pain been?
What about painkillers?
improved. apparently much of the pain and problems were because of right foot. Its a flat foot before surgery and now its pronated even more.
I had a little pronated feet and now after doing 1cm i have even more pronation.
What does the doctor say about it?
not much. he said if u have pronation before it will remain or increase with lengthening. He told me to use orthotic supports. Well things are only in the begining as of now and i still have to lengthen alot and i'l see what else are my options. I know it can be fixed with surgery but i dont wana go that route. hopefully exercises, stretching and orthotic support will be enough.
Hi sanity how are you?
Are you doing LATN ? What’s difference between LATN or LON and why you choose this .

Yes im doing LATN. Mainly because having only ilazarov during distraction is usually better for controlling bone. Im sure you can look this up in detail somewhere.
