Quote from: Erkan on April 14, 2021, 08:27:20 AMI have good news. The thrombosis has partially resolved. Had a duplex sonography yesterday and it is much better than 10 days ago. I've tried on some new clothes to see how I look in them now. i am really happy with my height and proportions now. maybe I still make 3mm to have full 5cm if possible.
Ive made some pictures in a self Photo Shoot :p

as a reminder, this is how I looked before. Unfortunately not in the same clothes. maybe I'll make a comparison with the same clothes in the future

Thx for the kind words

Just a quick update, Im doing fine. My life is already back to normal. Im of course not into sports, but doing the normal everyday things. I do not have pain. I still feel little bit stiff when I wake up.
My gait is improving. Sometimes I do even forget that I had the surgery. Im still very happy that I did it an can highly recommend it to people who suffer from height neurosis. It did realy change my life for the better! I will have x-rays in 3 weeks to check my bone growth. I will keep you updated!

Erkan, could you please ask Dr Köhne, which lenghtening nail he is planning to use in the future? As you know the Stryde Nail has been banned worldwide.

Very nice gait! Congrats, Erkan! Enjoy your new life! Were you at "Therme Erding"?

More questions to Köhne:
- Which lenghtening nail he uses at the moment?
- When does he expect Stryde Nail to be back on market?


Thank you!

Dr Koehne is using the Precice nail until stryde gets approved again. He expects stryde to come back early 2022. Thats what Nuvasive told him. But nobody can know for sure.

My xrays look good. I will be probably allowed to do sports in 6 weeks



Best regards!

But Precice is not available right now in Europe... Did he say anything about that?
