Quote from: MyEvolution on October 07, 2018, 06:52:29 AMGuys I need serious help with pain management. This pain gets worse at night where it’s at a 6-7
The best way to describe the pain is like this: imagine you injured one of your body parts. If someone were to randomally touch it, you’d jump away because it hurts in a weird way. Now imagine someone were to squeeze your injured body part on a scale of 1-10; That’s exactly the pain I feel, except sometimes it feels like someone is squeezing harder sometimes less
At night the squeeze is hard enough that i cannot sleep, & sometimes like now it’s at a 7 after I already took 5mg of OXY i cant even lay still, or sit down or stand it’s like torture. I keep moving to move the pain around but like OMG i just want it to go away
Why don't you email Dr. Paley or Dr. Craig about this? Not an LLer, but it is well known that the first two weeks are very difficult. You are still feeling the trauma of the surgery, distraction aside. Maybe you should take the Oxy a little liberally for a week or so and then taper off. Stay strong!
Femurs & Tibias with Dr Paley

You sir are a proper condescending pr!ck. I am sure you are referring to my post http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=9262.msg95583#msg95583
Its laughable how clueless you are. I said I could sell my apartment and salvage like 140k to do surgery with Dr. Paley. I bought this like 5 years ago and its value has increased. I bet you would rather keep the apartment and go to russian, india or some ty country and get butchered with with permanent knee pain, scars all over the leg.
Money is just money, time is much more valuable. Spending my time as a short person is like not efficiently using your time because I could be so much more if I were taller.
Quote from: cool on October 07, 2018, 07:31:58 AMThanks man. A couple more questions about what you did if I may:
1. Did you pay the 87.5 grand for surgery (87.5 - 10 advance) before meeting Dr. Paley even once?
2. A question out of paranoia: If for some reason you fall sick a few days before the surgery, would they postpone it free of charge? Or do you lose all your money? I've been feeling funny levels of anxiety these days as I plan this surgery with Dr Paley.
3. Did the hospital give you any paperwork to show the immigration officers during your entry into the country?
1. Yea exactly, paid the 10k first & all of that before meeting Paley before a) I was running out of time b) I knew in the bottom of my heart if I was gonna go through with this Paley is the best in the practice so meeting him considering this situation was less important than making sure I get the date I wanted. After meeting Paley i was happy i booked it
2. I dont know how thats work u have to call and ask Angelique that
3. No, I’m Canadian so I came on “pleasure” (not much pleasure let me tell you)
& 3 months falls within the 6 months allowable time frame I get with my passport

The only thing holding you back is yourself, nobody is stopping you from having fun and enjoying life, you're choosing/deciding to not enjoy life until you get LL.
Being short is inefficient?? How? At what? Don't answer this, I don't need that type of cringe in my life. Most people would not think it's smart to give up a necessity (shelter) for a few inches in height.

I will not hijack Evolutions diary.

Obviously I won't understand it because I'm not mentally ill and stupid enough to think the way you do.

You know, depending on how short you are I can understand where this typa of thinking stems from. Being a short male is simular to being a very overeight girl, in which opposite gender never takes you seriously, or thinks of you as a last resort, or doesnt treat you with the respect deserved. I totally do not want to live my entire life as such anymore hence the surgery
But ya dont sell your house not good

I'd go a step further, I'd say nobody in their right mind would sell their home to go from 5'8-6'0. If anyone here is considering this please get help you might need to be evaluated.

At least an overweight women can lose the weight, I wish it was so simple to add 4-6+ inches to your stature.
Hey MyEvolution,.
Hope you're ok and you can manage the pain. Firsts weeks are the worst
Can you do your PT despite the pain ? It's important for recover.
Stay strong
Try paracetamol + tramadol before you go opoids (tramadol works on opoid receptors but is much less addictive and is safer, although there is still risk of addiction). I tapered down from about 200-300 mgs of sustained release tramadol (max daily dose is 400) to 0 in a couple of weeks with no withdrawal symptoms. Combining with paracetamol is important for maximum analgesic effect (true for all opoids). Paracetamol is called acetaminophen (tylenol) in the states btw...
Ice is also quite an effective painkiller...
