Quote from: MyEvolution on September 29, 2019, 01:46:18 PMNext yr i’ll come back and take both femurs and tibs out sane time

Yo update: i an able to sleep on my side!! This is something that took me 3 weeks with femurs

wow! that's great to hear about femurs/tibs removed at same time + you can sleep on the side. Not gunna lie man, you've sold me on getting this surgery done and have made me feel a lot more confident about this. You and @Movie

Yesss Movie get it
Be warned, 5.5cm is where I had the most nerve pain EVER. But i kept stretching and lengthening and it went away around 6.2cm
From then on there was no more pains

Hey guys jus wanted to give you a meaningful scoop
Couple days ago i said that i went around the hospital walking zone a couple times no problem. This is true however I dnt want you thinking I am doing this type of walking everyday because I am not. In fact, like i said i’m taking a much “lazier” approach.
Last yr i overdid it and had crazy inflammation week1-3
This time around I am only getting out of bed when I need to and even then, i’m litterally just transferring to my wheelchair. Even using the pee thing from bed. Jus wanted to give you guys a realistic view because i do NOT want u guys trying to physically push urself week1-3 you WILL & I repeat you WILL regret it.
This is not a race, take it slow avoid inflammation at any cost

Hey LL community need some advice from pro Tibs

So far tibs has been waaaay easier than femurs gotta say
I was having hot flashes this week because I wanted to see if I can go through the whole day no pain killers no tylenol, bad plan. Had strong fever like symptoms till i resumed my oxy and tylenol

Besides that i been on top of my stretching, 3x / day + PT

But
We gotta wear the tibia shoes?! They are soo uncomfortable and I dnt rven feel a stretch rn, all I feel is blood circulation getting cut off and my feet go numb after wearing them. WHAT DO I DO?! Only thing i feel guilty about is not wearing them cause they litterally hurt

Any advise?!

MyEvolution-

Tibia's are a walk in the park compared to femurs (when using Stryde) pun was intentional...

The one aspect of Dr. Paley's tibia protocol that needs to be addressed are those universal fit tibia boots, while medically beneficial they are horribly uncomfortable, your best solution is to purchase custom fit boots, they offer a dramatic improvement. Dr. Paley should be using custom fit boots on every patient, I don't understand why he still uses those universal fit boots, they work, but custom fit is the answer.

The next time I see Dr. Paley i'm going to give him a piece of my mind for still using those one size fits all style boots.

For a reference look up Iamready patient experience.

Keep up the great work buddy, post some walking videos, there are no Stryde walking videos of a tibia patient, so you'd be the first and only, which would make you special in my eyes, and as you know that's what's important in life

Lmaooo!! Ironically Paley actually made everyone this yr custom shoes. A guy game in, did measurements and molds etc
Problem is this shoe is made out of frikken plastic it hurts like crazy
Thinking of ordering the ones off Amazon heard they comfy

May I ask that do you acknowledge doing internal tibia has higher risk of getting permanent knee pain due to the splitting of patella tendon? If yes, csn you tell me what still motivated you to do internal tibia with Paley. Thanks!
