Quote from: lessthanavg8300 on March 18, 2023, 04:14:52 PMOk well...personal stuff aside.  Paley is top notch, cant go wrong there.  I would have liked to go there especially since I live in the states.  If you're going public with LL to your friends and family I think this is the way to go.

The reason Becker has gained so much attention is because its one of the only weight bearing nails on the market right now and he has generally good reviews.  Theres not an army of fake accounts, the market just shifted when Stryde was taken off the market.  Im curious about what you heard though....why someone had a bad experience.

When you're a patient you get to see many of the other patients and theres communication on whatsapp.  Theres only 1 femur patient who is having a difficult time right now that I know of, and thats because he did 11CM and has terrible duck ass.  But then someone else did 11CM and is walking pretty amazing in public 2 months into consolidation.  Hes going up and down stairs like normal.  So idk what to say about that.  People have remarkably different recoveries when you get into the high lengths.

One thing I have heard of is runaway nails.  Its rare but it does happen. It means the nail is so loose that it keeps clicking and you need to fly back.  There was a tibia patient with this issue.

I can say in my case, that Im waiting to give a final review until ive completely recovered and maybe even until my nails are out.  But so far so good.  I would say truthfully the clicking mechanic is not ideal though.  So its a mixed bag.  You weight bare but the clicking is absurd at times.

Hi Cathy, how is your pain at the moment? Can you walk long distances without crutches? Are you staying at the Dorint Hotel for the next few weeks?

All the best!

I will leave today.I feel pain only do clicking.And from yesterday i dont know why,the clicking becomes difficult,especially for my left leg.Dr.Becker suggest me to decrease the times of clicking from 11 to 10.

Currently i can walk without crutches for 500-1000m,but Dr.Becker strongly suggest me to use crutches in public areas.

Today I depart dorient hotel,which stayed for 3 weeks.I applied wheelchair assistance prior to departure.And use the wheelchair to travel around the airport.

I hope the Heathrow airport is not quite busy and I could get a wheelchair as well,otherwise the long waiting queue would make me crazy!

Today is 4 weeks post surgery.After 1.5h flight i am back to my home.Although i used wheelchair assistance all the time,the tension become extremely heavy and the walk without crutches turn to difficult!i even hard to stand up without others‘ help.

When i arrived home,it is nearly 9pm and i have to do 2 rounds strength exercises in order to relax  muscle and then am able to do other things.

Hi Cathy

Take it easy and use crutches when outside for safety purpose.
