What's up forum, I gained 6.5cm's in Volgograd Russia with Dr. Barinov. Its been a while since I've been on this forum but I just wanted to tell everyone that I am so freaking happy I did the surgery. My life changed dramatically for the better. I got my IM nails in June of 2018. I did external fixation and got the IM's shortly after finishing turning. As of now, my calves are still super tight but i try my best to stretch them daily but still a constant nuisance. Coincidentally I am about to start physical therapy school which is a cool way to help others, right? I love life now. I go on tons of hikes and my love life has dramatically improved. My only regret is not having the surgery at a younger age (initial tibia and fibulal breakage occurred at 23yo). Ask me questions forum, I want to help others!
I can't believe how much my life has changed
DUDE FROST WHERE THE FK HAVE YOU BEEN BRO! I WAS HITTING YOU UP ON WHATSAPP THOUGHT U DIED OR SOMETHING
Hey Frost. I am so glad to hear you are doing well, though not perfect. Might I ask if at around 5 months post op, did you have any ballerina? I have ballerina and it’s getting better but slowly, and as a result of calf tightness I have a bend in the knees. I got shin splints the other day from trying to run too soon. Are all of the things I’m saying similar to your experience? I did 6cm stryde.
Dude my bad bro, my russian phone stopped working and honestly I got caught up in a little fun in volgograd. I had a russian girlfriend for 7 months after I got my IM nails. Just got caught up in that. Had tons of fun and we traveled in Russia. Anyhow I'm so much better. DUDE I CANNOT believe you did it too! I am some glad you didn't go do the OP with Barinov. I started seeing some of your vlogs and it looks like you made the right decision.
Around 3 months post op,I had mild ballerina on my right foot. It was a slow proccess but even to this day that calf and ankle is still tighter than the other leg. I do a lot of hiking but have only run a handful of times. When I have run, my calfs are always super sore the next day.
Do you think with more dedicated stretching before and after running it will loosen up? I have noticed that my legs were super stiff after jogging as well. And even though it’s tight the next day, you can still walk just fine?
Haha dang that's sick PM me your number bro!
yikes
