Internal Femurs with Dr Baumgart / Fitbone

Edit Post

I hope it won't be a permanent problem, that would ruin the whole effort

the pain came gradually over the last 2 weeks of lengthening. I think it got worse because I lengthened quite fast the last couple of days. I should have paused but wanted to get over with it. that was a mistake.

Baumgart is totally relaxed, told me today that I should just wait and the pain will subside. Thats not really helpful but I guess I need to be patient now. The Pregabalin helps to get through the days...but no improvement at all so far...

Hi Aturro,
I had 5.7 cm RFemur lengthening with fitbone mid march 2015 - strangely it was the front of my Right lower limb (prob 150 cm2 area) that initially (2-3 months) felt "on Fire", and later over the last year has slowly subsided to a somtetimes annoying/distracting "itchy" feeling. I am pretty good now (no drugs), but it is still there in the background and can flair up (but not to bad).
Initially (first two months) I tried Pregabilin (150 mg/day) - this did help a bit.
I hope your pain also fades.

Hi AimHigh,

thanks for the feedback! I am in week four now and the pain is still the same, extremely annoying. Good to hear that it subsided for you after all. 2-3 months is quite a timeframe though...

I take 150mg Pregabalin which helps most of the time and allows for some sleep at night.
still kind of nerve wrecking at the moment...

by the way, does anyone know why this nerve pain actually happens?
is it because the nerves are stretched to their limits or is it because they are damaged and need to regrow? any other ideas?

thanks

I would have liked to have seen the results of this diary as there aren't many Baumgart diaries at all. Hopefully Aturro can chime in sometime and update us on his progress.

 Hi Aturro:
       
     You are very and very stong and courageous.  i am always watching your diaries in a couple of days, i hope to hear good news from you. The journal for me just like having the feeling of reborn.  i  i am always shy of my height when i grow up, it is only 153.5cm(my dream heigh is increase to  6.5- 7 cm). i want become to a normal heigh woman(standrad heigh:160cm)
     I also want to find the Dr  Baumgart for the imternal femurs of surgery. i try to prepear for making a lot of money for the surgery. i am thirty-seven(37), but i am afraid of my age.
      Do you see the other ages of some patients like me in Dr baumgart's hopital for limb lengthening? do you see some girls do the surgery in Dr baumgart's hopital?  From your diaries, i can feel the pains that result in can't sleep at night. How much pain  a girl can endure? I am so worried.

Pain should be your last concern, cognitive Dysfunction after surgery is the worst!!

Isn't cognitive dysfunction after surgery only transient ? It won't interfeer with your surgery as much as pain does. Also it's more common in elderly people with preexistent conditions and with heart surgery
