Hi guys im 33 (male) 163 cm and just did the surgery yesterday and tomorrow i will have already to leave the hospital and go back to Rome from Lecco.

I kind regret already having the surgery, i can’t almost stand even with crutches, i tried to walk with them and the pain was way too much and lasted for hours just for walking 10m.

On top of that and i already knew it i will have to get there for the ATL, honestly i will try to not do it even if i need to stop at 5cm.

Right now i have no idea i will i be able to take the train and go back to Rome already tomorrow, considering i will have the fixators for atleast 9 months and today is not passed yet, i think i did something too big for me. Sorry for my english

Hey, relax. You already went through with this. What's done is done. You need to remain confident and hopeful. Have faith. Are you staying close to the hospital?

OK, that sounds fine. What is the HEF method? Are you doing a full Ilizarov? Why did you choose this method?

I livi in Italy and Pili and Catagni are known worlwide. Hef is pretty much like Ilizarov, i choose it cause is cheap and the safest

It’s kind of pointless now. Im in the bed now, i don’t feel pain but is like if my legs are in constant feeling on being exausted, to an insane degree which makes me feel terrible

try to get some heavy pain killers.
tramadol or something for the first 2-3 weeks.

What is done is done. Even if you were to remove fixtator, you will still have broken bones. pain etc for atleast a month.

try to get to 4cm and call it a day.
it should be like 50 days from now on.
you can do it!

1. Who decided for you to leave that place one day after surgery? Did Dr. Pili say that it is possible?

2. Are you on your own or will you hire a caretaker?

3. Do you really use crutches already or do you use a walker? On the first days after surgery I couldn't walk that much either. It gets better with time.

4. Take stronger pain killers. I took Tramal 3 times a day for the first months. In the hospital they even gave me too much. I felt sick all the time but I didn't have any pain...

5.You should be able to avoid ATL. Try to stretch your Achilles tendons everyday with the PT and at home, maybe with some devices bought from amazon or so which your doctor approves.

6. The first weeks passed very fast...after some time and whenever I had some weird pain time was awfully slow. On my third month I couldn't imagine wearing the frames even 3 months more. Now it's been almost 8 months or so...and it kinda feels so far away but also as if I was in Athens just a few weeks ago. Of course without the frames it's better but the last months were passing quite fast so it's not too bad.

Don't think too much about the choice you made. The only way now is forward. Don't think about anything except for PT and passing your time. What are your plans? How long will you stay in Rome? Will you stay in Italy for the whole procedure?
