I feel like most of the complications come from the patients own mind, when you want to be reassured you only want to be reassured from your doctor and until that you kind feel on your own cause you don’t really know what’s happening, everytime i was having something that i tought it was a problem, in few days fixed itself like Dr Pili always told me, but right now i’m not even at 2cm into the distraction phase so probably the worst is yet to come, i want to be kind of conservative anyway, is either going to be 5cm or at best 6cm cause the only diaries that satisfied me were from people that got 5cm at best in tibias.
great, I'm happy to have a new Pili diary to follow
Dr Pili external Tibia with HEF method (hopefuly 6cm) 2019
Just reached a little but over 2cm, apart from my right fibula head that is protruding few mm and was hurting a lot for a couple of days, everything is fine, i had some knee bending at 1,8 cm for a couple of days on my left leg but for some reason now is gone.
For some reason both of my ankles are pretty swollen but they never hurt once, neither i had any discomfort.
I’ve met Dr Pili today and did some X-Rays, for now he said i don’t need ATL and we will see in September, other than that he said i’m doing good and i did just a little bit less than 3cm
Good to hear man, stay strong!

Thanks
Keep it up Rei, I'm glad it's looking better for you!
Hang in there it'll be over before you know it.
do you have a decent mobility using crutches or walker? if yes, how much do you walk daily, and what kind of exercises the doctor gave to you?

Hi Alieno, i replied to your pm btw, don’t know if you saw it. Btw i have a really good mobility with both crutches and walker and until now i really didn’t make a lot of exercises or walking other than going to the bathroom and to the kitchen to eat; but since a couple of days i’m spending a total amount of about 2 hours between stretching, walking and exercises, the only thing is that my left knee is bending slighty and my left ankle is kind of locked at 90 degree with maybe some range of motion in the dorsiflexion, so i’m trying to fix the knee while keeping the ankle at this ROM at worst but is not easy while lenghting everyday.
I just really want to avoid another surgery and get the ATL done even if only fof 5cm, dr Pili seems positive i will have to get it no matter what tho in September
My latest X-Rays after 50 days from the surgery, about 2,7cm
