I had LL in 2007 and I'm still here. Ask me anything!

Ahh, I’m so glad to hear that. Sounds like it’s not a big deal then.

Lastly, based on others you may have spoken to, to what degree is their knee pain? Is it similar to yours or worse?

I just want to get a rough idea of what the typical ‘chronic knee pain’ after LON Tibia is like. Is it similar to yours or usually much worse? What’s been your consensus on this?

Thanks again buddy

I have the worst knee issues of anyone I know, except for people whose surgeries were botched.

I guess that’s… good news then?  If you said your issues are easily manageable and it’s the worst from what you know, I guess everyone else’s knees are pretty much normal then?

Could you please take a look at my X-rays and let me know what you think?

These are 1 week old. Thanks a lot man, you are honestly really giving me peace of mind.

What do you think of them in terms of nail position, screws etc.

As I said, at the moment I’m in pain when I stand up, sit down, walk and raise my leg. My knees hurt.

Thank you again Medium

I don't notice anything wrong with them.  They look pretty similar to my x-rays.  The first few weeks after surgery, it felt like the internal nail was sticking way up into the knee and would burst out if I bent my leg.

Fingers crossed, I hope I end up healing well without any knee issues. Hopefully the pain I have in knees atm goes away soon.

And same!  I feel the same way! It feels like the internal rod is sticking out for me, but I am able to bend my knees fully.

I know it’s difficult to say, but what do you think Medium. Do you reckon I’ll end up getting chronic knee pain or not?

And when should the current knee pain that I have, go away?

Thanks again!

This issue is barely even acknowledged by the orthopedic community, and even outright denied by some doctors.  So all I know is anecdotal to my own case.  Your body might or might not heal differently than mine.  I can't make a prediction.
