I had my surgery in June of 2007, and I was walking normally by February 2008, so that took about 7-8 months. My problems now are that my knees get quite stiff if I don't exercise regularly, and they have a lot of sensitivity when I kneel.
People treat me differently now, but I'm not sure if it's because of my new height or my newfound confidence from being average height. It's made a world of difference in my own perception of myself, self-confidence, and self-worth.

thanks a lot do you know what should I do to prevent the knees problem ? And also can u do any kind of work even if it require u to stand for 12 hours a day ?
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe my knee stiffness and sensitivity were caused by the IM nails.
I can stand as long as I need to. LL didn't affect my endurance for standing.

well said thank man .
1. You have persistant knee pain up to 4/10 and you still feel it was worth it? How much does it prevent you from enjoying life?
2. I know you posted some pics of the scars but.. can you post more with strong lighting and several angles?
I'm not saying it to knock you down. I'm asking because they look excellent, and if you post more pics and they still look excellent then I will probably do externals then scar revision surgery just like you.
3. Do you think internal femurs would have resulted in significantly less knee pain?
4. Knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently?
Hi there
so as I'm gonna have internal plate in femurs after few days, I'm thinking now to have it for tibia too
some doctors said that I need around 1.5 months to remove the fixator from my tibia..
but I'm not sure about that too... forget about china for a min and let's say you're diso, would you have the plate for your tibia too ?
I want to get back to my life, but I want to avoid extra surgery..
I wouldn't do the extra surgery. 1.5 months isn't a very long time to wait.
So Diso are you not going to lengthen your tibiae then? You're not going for the extra surgery? Which surgery are you not going to go for?
