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 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.
