Quote from: helloworld on February 08, 2017, 08:49:29 PMHave you done both unilateral and bilateral or how do you know?
I have talked to many unilateral patients and the pain they describe goes far beyond what I feel.
I suspect it has to do the way the brain works, pain is a sign that something is wrong and that you better do something about it. When you got one good leg and one bad leg your brain keeps noticing the difference, when you do both at the same time, your brain has nothing to good leg to compare to and reduce pain signals.
So from my experience compared to many unilateral patients pain is LESS when doing both at the same time!
HAHAHA , i can only laught about this. I dont really need to refute your argument because your last sentence is just all an intelligent person needs to dont take your post seriously.

Everyone has a different sense of pain. Some people will experience more pain doing one leg than doing two at the same time but the logic tells that 2 broken legs hurt more than 1.
Hola Yagen! Me alegro que estés tan bien.
Un par de preguntas, estás convencido de alargar tibias tambien? Te convence la explicacion de Dr. Monegal para evitar la posibilidad de dolor permanente en las rodillas?
Gracias!
@Krp1 and Helloworld,
I know both of us, I think both are right.
Pain, disconfort and patien are not equal in every person.
For me the worst of LL was that I could not sleep well, I prefer to stay more time in a wheelchair but not do two surgerys and sleep bad the double of time.
@Peaceout
I am happy and I see that people look me in a different way. My new gilrfriend told me that people see me because I look a tall guy, and I think it is because I look taller becasue I am slim.
last week, my old student intern that I had not seen in two years told me "you get strong", but it is not true I am five kg heavier than two years ago.
I am happy but you lose time, muscle, and your legs dont recover 100%, you can do a normal life but not an athletic life.
@Antonio
I see that your recover goes well too, I am very glad for you, How is your healing?
For me the main problem in the ankle and the missaligment and not the knee,
Every day doctors put hundreds of intramedular nails (trauma nail) in the tibia by the knee.
I was asking to Paco1 and Glenn, and They told me that they were fine.

So basically it is not the external circumstance, like a broken leg, that is causing the pain, but the brain is producing pain on purpose, if it thinks you need a reminder to fix do something about your health.
A nice example of the brain causing pain are painful phantom legs, where a painful leg is amputated and the same pain as before continues! And the even more curious thing is that when you still have one leg and use a mirror for you to get the illusion that you are moving the amputated leg, the pain of the amputated leg can go away, as explained in this video:

There are some patients with problems of non-union.
A new trial is doing in twenty hospitals from Europe, ORTHOUNION
ORTHOpedic randomized clinical trial with expanded bone marrow MSC and bioceramics versus autograft in long bone nonUNIONs

You can see it in 10:40 Minutes.
If it works, healing will be faster.
Hi Yagen
Congrats for your achievement. I'm planning to do two stage as well. What did you tell to your work colleagues when you came back after the first surgery?
Could you also send the índole Brand and shoes you used when the gap was larger than 5cm?
Thank you!
Mdream.
I got cheap boots similar to these to put the insole inside.

You can also trim the heel with a saw if you need more height. You only need this boots for 3 or 4 weeks till next surgery.
I told to my mates that I had a bone problem I was very sad about it, I did not talk to much about it. I would need time for recovery, workout and growing factors.
Good luck in your trip
10 months after second leg surgery.
Many people have asked me about recovery in private.
I do a normal life, I have recovered the flexibility and I can run, but I do not want to stress the bone because the nail is still there.
This video is from a few weeks ago.

Today´s Bone scan, Less 1 year from last surgery. 
It´s hard to see the new bone, where is the osteotomy and a very good alignment.
Very happy with all.
