monegal.... i rote a long reply, but i won't post it yet.... you should stay off the boards though... some of your statements are not accurate.. i don't like t discuss private matters though, unlike some of your other patients, so lets leave it between us.
i don't have full rom btw, and your statement about pt is not correct... I'm not going to ask a therapist about x tays, analyzing tendons, etc... therapist only does what a dr says is needed
medium... i know, but itsl ike 16 months... i realize i jut had final surgery 12 weeks ago though
but the limp is whats holding me back, and I've done the same exercises, stretching with both legs and right leg is fine... it is not muscle thats causing these issue, and its annoying to hear that... when i put pressure on my left, i can feel the weakness of the bone... now if this is normal, okay... but progress has sort of stopped, which is what's concerning.....
FINALLY FIXING MY LEFT LEG WITH DR. MONEGAL IN BARCELONA- JULY 2,2015
Even if you had the best meal on the planet you'd complain about the fork or something... 
yes g man, its very similar
in fact... my walking, legs are very bad, very weak
im pretty sure i dont wanna live like this.
if it aint gonna better, im surely gonna end this ....
i just ried to walk a short distance in parking lot... had to do down small step... its not comfortable at all.. i then walk a little, and its an awful experience and then try to stand on another small curb ... well, that experience is almost impossible to achieve... cant balance at all....
then trying to take 1 small step... my ankles etc are seless... and my leg actually almost buckled... i amost fell on the ground
thats how bad my walking is 16 months out...
i dont see this getting better... 90-95% function??? i think no wayyyyy
im at maybe 30 % now....
im pretty sure im screwed.... i can not live like this... and thats no hype
My legs were so weak I couldn't even use crutches when I first got out of the hospital, because I didn't have the strength to balance. I think you should start out with a walker and then work your way to crutches, then work your way to walking unaided. This is going to be slow and difficult, but don't lose hope.
At first it looks like a huge mountain and you think you're never gonna make it to the top. But you can, one step at a time.
Hi Crimsontide,
I hope you are doing ok. Please be patient as these things really take long time. I am sure you will be alright. Just try to walk.
Could you please clarify where did you have your previous LL operation as I am confused on one hand (1) finding two of your entries HAVE DECIDED TO UNDERGO LENGTHENING and TIBIA LENGTHENING IN MOSCOW WITH DR BAGIROV, but on the other hand both of you and Dr. Monegal mentioning India here:

Quote from: Dr Monegal on September 27, 2015, 02:32:36 AMWhen I met You (after all These experiences in India) your leg s muscle condition was extremely poor.
So where your had your LL - in India or Russia?
Thanks and get well soon!

I didn't read through your diary before posting questions in my previous post, because to say frankly I don't like dramas and no offense but you seem to be quite a dramatic person. However, instead of waiting for your reply I've decided to quickly glance over your posts and have just found this:

posts and now I see you had initial LL with Dr. Bagirov and then corrected equinus with Dr. Shah. So this was third intervention with Dr. Monegal.
Wow, quite a story! Anyway, do not get sad too much, stay cool and get well soon!
