Quote from: Taller on July 26, 2015, 04:54:43 PMAlso, the real question we all want answered: are Programdude and Yellowspike really as good looking as it would seem they are? Lol.
Regarding ProgrameDude...I mean, was there ever any doubt? Lol.
Yellowspike kept the train going of most people I've met doing LL being good looking and sane going. We would clean up a NYC bar nicely.
I am feeling alright, pain meds keep the pain quite tolerable though the sides are unfortunate. I can walk relatively normally when on the meds, and it already feels like the issues I had pre removal aren't present. Nasty bruise on my left hip when I took bandages off, but dr. R said it should be no problem though.
Your insurance is paying for a cosmetic limb lengthening procedure??!! Wtf, who you have your insurance with? Lol
Glad to see you're doing well. I had my surgery on the 22nd, so it's been about 11 days post-op. PT is going fine and pain is manageable but my only trouble is sleeping. I can't remember the last time I slept at night. I take brief naps during the day (which I realize I should stop doing) but other than that I'm constantly awake. It's 2am right now and have zero hopes of falling asleep anytime soon. I'll probably just end up watching It's Always Sunny or reading till the morning. What tips do you have for sleeping at night? Nothing seems to work for me. Thanks.

It covered some of the hospital fees for removal only...
As for sleep, the bad news is, as my diary indicates, sleep is the worst part of all this and never gets better. ZZZquill helped. Read through my thread and you will pick up some things here and there. It can be brutal.
Ps. it seems running again was only hindered by the rods, I ran today fine, despite not being full recovered from removal. Also walked around a lot today NO more clicking, NO more pain in my left leg. It looks like I am finally free.
Very happy for you, bro.
I undergo mine on August 25th in Spain.
Hi PD,
Congrats on removal and successful completion!
I was wondering what pain meds you take now and how often? how is the pain from 1 to 10? did you do xray post op?
Since i am having my removal soon I d like to get some general idea about it .
Thanks!

Hey sweatpants, good seeing you here.
To give you an idea, even though I was told I'd need my crutches, I was able to walk out of recovery, and stand up to get dressed and use the bathroom etc. right away. I even could walk up and down stairs of the house I stayed at, and was able to drive home at around 4 am the morning after my evening surgery. In other words: nothing how you felt after your initial surgery.
You will get some duck ass just right after since you be too sore in the hips to straighten, but this will go away. The days right after pain when walking and moving is around a 5, and when stationary, almost painless. My back did get seriously tight to the point of being painful and is still somewhat tight even after deep massages, but thats probably not overly common and is probably just because I was mostly stationary a few days.
Now, about a week and a half later, there is still soreness but I don't need pain killers and I walked around almost all of saturday normally.
No x rays post op, and in the days after I was using about 4 of the percocets per day.
Programdude i have some duck ass
I emailed dr paley and he told me that doing femurs will reduce or not change my duck ass but not get worse
Is this true?
From my experience, at least a year later, this doesn't seem to be true. I have certainly not had duck ass improvement(had slight going into it). And if anything the tightness makes it worse after. Its possible with more time and very rigorous training it will get better, but I can't imagine this helping duck ass.
