Female patient lengthening with Dr Jamal in Kiev

How much have you spent roughly?

Edit Post

oooer...I guess with rent, flight, food, assistant (someone to help with cleaning, cooking, and injections), and of course some fun stuff like wine and food for BBQs for new friends  around 50k. I did a bit of travelling around Europe as well before  My poor bank account

50k all in for an internal weight bearing nail is cheap!  How do you distract?

Do you feel any sensitivity in your hip area? Jamal's new nail greatly resembles the original Bliskunov nail shown here, correct?

I'll try and ask the doctor to explain the difference before I write anything here... because I honestly don't know that much

To be honest, I didn't really feel that much in the hip area and just thought it was the incision/wound pain at the beginning! It went away pretty quickly, but now I realise what the tingly sensation was in my hip now....

Ahh soo excited! I just visited Doctor Jamal's new recovery resort for his patients. It's situated also beside a lake and the outdoor area is much nicer than the place I'm at now. It's also cheaper so I've asked if I can move in asap. Hopefully I can get my own room by tonight or tomorrow. The place has even got a boat! x

Tnx for sharing your journey here:)....I was planning on going with Jamal, but Emmanuels non-union and other patients bad consolidation, put me off...Hope yours will turn out great:)

Hey Purrfection- read your diary and enjoyed it. I had few email exchanges with dr. Jamal last year. He does seem very caring doctor.

Hope things works out for you. Good luck mate!

Hmm.. Does anyone have the links to Emmanuels or I'm guessing Ocean's links where it refers to non-union? And it would be great to know if they are okay now. Thanks guys! X

P.s Ive almost finished 6cm and was walking around reaaaally well yesterday. I noticed i had a little duck ass, but I got rid of it like a nazi in inglorious basterds :p

Okay, i got off my lazy duck ass and did research. I read through the whole of Emanuels diary again about consolidation and i thought i would quote this:

First, thanks for the good wishes and nice words!

They have helped!

The first good news came on wednesday, when the x-ray of my right leg was taken one day before my departure to Kiev. It showed clearly better callus than in november. I will upload the xray when back in germany (cant do it now because i dont have my laptop here in Kiev)

Then, yesterday Dr Jamal did a ct scan of my legs. It showed that at a minimum I have small bone cells (osteoblast) everywhere, so in that sense the bone is already connected (in a weak way). According to Dr Jamal I have normal bone regeneration, but with the difference that it is very slow.

To speed it up I am getting a treatment now. Dr Jamal knows about my currently bad financial situation and still prepared that treatment for - I think it shows what a caring doctor he is.
I am getting injections 3 times in the next weeks. The first pair of injections I got yesterday. What they did is: taking blood from me, put it into a centrifuge to filter out the plasma, then this plasma got mixed with some growth factors and injected into the problematic bone area.  Hope that will help  Smiley

Furthermore, the ct shows that a screw in my right leg is broken. Apparantly, I am walking around with a broken screw since 1 month. It must have broken in my superman reha session in the swimminghall. It is no surprise that I had all that pain lately. The screw will be exchanged on monday.

I am very happy that I came back to Kiev. Normal orthopedics, that dont have a clue of LL, just cant help you. To be fair, it was really difficult to see that broken screw even on the ct. After Dr Jamal showed it to me, I still had to look 2 more times to see it!
