i dont know if he told the truth... but the fact is: goodfootballer can walk .... and i cant!
Well, there are those type of diarys that simply omit negative things, complications etc. I sincerely hate such diarys, because they are misleading and dangerous for future LLers. No LL is a walk in a park, but some diarys make it seem like that.
Usually, you can't even blame the writers of those diarys, because the reason why they do it is entirely psychological. People don't like to talk about negative things. People don't like to admit that they have made a bad choice (e.g. of a LL doctor or of deciding to do the surgery). People don't like others to believe that they have made a bad choice. And so on.
The XRays with no callus must have been so scary for you but now you are back on track so its just a matter of time before you get back to walking normaly.
You made a good choice by talking to others so you can have some advices. And did you ask Dr Schmidt about walking without cruches now ? I think Dr Schmidt's reaction by injecting you hormones was the best thing to do.
Dr.schmidt started to give me the injections in the middle of december. The injections are covered by insurance...
Perhaps you can get it to Emanuel? It Speeds up the Bone growth rapidly.
Thank you for supporting me Emanuel... Now i have the Mood to go in public With my experience in the Forum...
A good diet helps bone recovery, espcially protein and calcium. Check out this guide, it has list of supplements and exercise routine. It's for internal LL, so avoid swimming with frames on. Go with walking on crutches and stationary biking. http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=10.0
Thanks a lot for your help!
Hi hope you doing fine ,how much did you pay? thanks
I don't know if you can afford it, but if I were in your position I'd consider LATN so you can at least get out of those fixators. You must be miserable having had them on all this time. Knee pain is a risk but not guaranteed. Dong Mei (a famous Beijing patient who lengthened a whole lot) had really bad bone growth too and had to leave the internal nail in for years.
Hey MDOW, did you ever meet Dong Mei?
Yes I did. She and her boyfriend came to visit the hospital when I was getting my nails removed, and she still had hers in.
