@shawty, I was thinking along the same lines. That should help to kick start the bone regeneration, just in case the old fracture has been infected.
@FJ, do you still feel any pain in your legs?
Thanks once again for your diary. We are all pulling together and supporting you.
Iam walking a lot.... but... WITH CRUTCHES..... because my legs are so weak and cannot support my complete weight....
I do not have pain since one week.... before that i was in pain for about 1 and half year... and took ibuprofen all the time daily...
now i do not take any painkillers or muscle relaxants since two weeks.
i dont know what i can do to make my bone growing stronger and faster...
perhaps i am eating not a lot..... because i do not have any appetite... and sometimes after eating i have to vomit... because my stomach is very weak too... after such a long periode of eating pain killers and other medicines....
Have you tried an ultrasonic bone healing device, like exogen for example?
Maybe you could ask your doctor about it.
I take exogen (and after that item was broken) i take another one.
Dr. Schmidt prescribed me a Vitamin D supplement. I take it every day...
I heard a patient's case with a local doctor. His bone consolidation was so slow that after waiting for a long time to heal, he decided to go to Dr.Paley and get his condition checked. Paley asked for a list of all the medications he'd been using. They found out that the patient was using a medicine for years (totally unrelated to LL) which hindered his bone growth, so the patient stopped taking it and had normal callus formation. FJ, is there any medicine you've been taking for a long time, which might be unrelated to LL?
I only take L-Thyroxin 125 for my thyroid gland one pill a day.. i have a hypothyroïdie... since birth.
and of course... birth control pill once a day...
perhaps i should take some protein shakes?
I forgot to tell you that Dr. Schmidt was testing my Vitamin D level... he took blood and measured it.
it was absolutely normal... and nothing was wrong....
but i do take vitamin D supplement...

Does Dr.Salameh know you're taking these? They might have no effect on bone growth whatsoever, but it would be good to check and make sure.
Bone consolidation is an inflammatory process, and ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug. If I had to guess, I'd say that was your problem. They had ibuprofen in Beijing, but they very rarely gave it out unless you were in extreme pain, and then only for a few days. It's only been two weeks since you stopped, so give it time and see if you start growing some bone.
your left tibia looks good to me comparing to the right
