Femurs growth with Stryde in Barcelona

Edit Post

I know it is best to try and stick to a normal schedule as much as possible to feel normal during the whole LL process but what i noticed was that the painkillers really worked well on a slight empty stomach near the morning time around 3am or so. What I did was exhaust myself until then and pop a pain killer and it put me right to sleep. I think a lot is about experimenting to really get in your comfort zone during the lengthening phase.

Also it is always great you have family around, it can get difficult at times and the support is a great thing to have. Massages are always nice and relaxing

For me, sleep got much better around the 6-8 week mark post-OP, at which point I didn't need to take any pills to help with sleep and I didn't wake up in the middle of the night anymore. I have heard of some people having trouble sleeping during the whole distraction phase and other people sleeping like normal after 1 month.

Thanks for the ongoing diary details FSchez! While the stryde mess gets sorted out, I’ll jus have to continue living vicariously through you and other LLers who had better timing 😁; stay strong 💪

Thank you very much to everyone for the information and for your support!
The doctor informed me that I have been one of the last patients who has been able to operate with the stryde implants. A few days after my operation, he had to postpone interventions with other patients, but he has given me peace of mind. I think it is a matter of time before its use is approved again.
Soon I will continue to report my progress to everyone.

Day 29 after the operation (Sunday 21 / February / 21):
I have woken up 2 times in pain at night, but have managed to sleep close to 6 hours in total.
In the morning I woke up with discomfort in the flexor muscles of the hips, so I was not able to walk much ... In the second lengthening session I felt intense pain in my knees and I spent the whole afternoon uncomfortable. We have gone to my parents' house and my father has massaged my legs to ease the pain. I have called the doctor to tell him about my discomfort in my legs and he has recommended that I stop the lengthening for a full day if tomorrow I still have severe pain in my legs. We have returned home for dinner and the pain has become more intense with the last lengthening session. Due to leg pain I have spent a lot of time on the sofa after dinner.
Before going to bed I took a pain reliever and after an hour of rolling over on bed I managed to sleep.

Day 30 after the operation (Monday 22 / February / 21):
The night and the morning have been the same as the day before ... I have felt pain in my legs while in bed and I have not been able to rest well and in the morning I have lengthened my legs but I have not been able to do anything else due to knee pain and hips ... In the middle of the morning I took a pain reliever and I was able to bear the pain a little better, but when I lengthened my legs again after eating, at 3:30 p.m., I felt an intense pain in my knees, like a strong cramp. At 16:00 I have had a physiotherapy session and he has been massaging and examining the muscles of my legs. The muscles are still very flexible, so the pain I feel probably comes from the nerves. Because of that, I have decided to stop the lengthening sessions for a full day. The rest of the day I have spent calm, trying to move as little as possible. At night I have been stretching my muscles and I have felt a little relief. Just before going to bed I took a pain reliever to rest, but it took a long time for me to fall asleep.

Day 31 after the operation (Tuesday 23 / February / 21):
Like the previous nights, I have woken up twice with discomfort in my legs, but rested a little better.
In the morning I have been doing stretching exercises and lying in bed to rest my legs. At noon I felt much better than the previous days so I have been able to walk with the crutches inside the house for a long time. At 4:00 PM, I have thought about resuming my lengthening, but finally decided to wait to lengthen my legs at night, just before dinner. The afternoon has also been good, but I haven't walked much to enjoy the day without pain.
After dinner I have been relaxing on the sofa with my wife, and I have gone to bed with almost no discomfort despite having done a lengthening session at 9:00 p.m.
