Quote from: Heightmare on July 22, 2019, 09:39:03 AMOne thing guys is a lack of consolidation due to the patient's own regenerative abilities or is it due to poor post op treatment?
Diet and physio I feel play a greater role. And I am almost certain more than 50% don't treat it seriously.
Dr. Giotikas - external tibia/Stryde - Diary 2018/2019
Great321, how is your consolidation?
update?
Still no reply from Great? Bit concerning he hasn't got back, hope he's doing okay
waiting for the next X-rays appointment next week, my expectations aren't high. I just hope that my bones will be consolidated by April next year so that I can start studying

So you wont be doing Stryde Femurs?
ALSO, Please tell us some honest words about dr giotikas, is he good or still not that experienced?
PT : you went to thesus center or something else?
Maybe in a few years. I have already said everything about him what I think. It hasn't changed. Also I have no knowledge about the whole medical part so I don't know if he could have handled sth better. Yes, thesus. 3-4 times a week. With the german PT who was very strict and later also on certain days with others.

Mind if I ask what has changed in your PT regimen? Before you had just said you weren't doing well with PT, only walking and stretching. What kind of stuff are you doing with your German PT?
I'm rooting for your consolidation bro. Actually want to see your next X-rays. Did you try anything new with diet or anything else?

Yes I used to have PT in Athens with the German PT and so on. Now I'm not. I only stretch my Achilles Tendon and walk.
I will be able to explain why I stopped doing other PT exercises once the frames are off.
I did change my diet. I eat fruits and vegetables everyday and bought more supplements. Thanks for your support. I'll post the X-rays next week. I don't think that much has changed honestly. My body is so weird. But I don't want to shorten anything..
Maybe I could have lengthened slowly aswell but no one told me. And I shouldn't have stopped lengthening in the very beginning and lengthen months later again. Let's see.
Hey we both have had fkups and complications, don't worry we are only going forward the best we can. I'm sure even my surgery would be considered a long recovery after almost a year after the surgery. One thing I feel like I should suggest however, is your body will really thank you if you try to do some PT now. My leg with the removed apparatus really is incredible, from range of motion, to balance, to strength. And I can't help but think the flexibility training and balance training I was doing only helped. I won't really know until the other frame is off but the leg feels as strong as ever. I'm sure you have your reasons for stopping PT, but even working out my toes by grabbing a piece of paper constantly with it has made my nerves heal amazingly, with no weird nerve jitters or imbalance.
