knees are bent after frame removal surgery

just got my fixators removed. its been about a week and my knees are really bent and curved when i wake up. i use the bike mid day and put weights on my knee to make it straight for a week already. still feeling the bent knees when i wake up. i have a slight curve and not straight leg and also developed slight ballerina foot about 1cm. while i have been practice standing up and stretching my heels. im concern about my knees. when in a month im going home back in the states i dont have much physical therapy as before. should i be worried about bent knees in the future?

Don't worry bro, these are minor problems.You will be better after 1 month, trust me.

i hope so . ive develop this problem during the lengthening phase. my pt mainly focus on my heels and not really my knees. i feel if my knees were straight i can walk gingerly without pain. now i feel a bit pain when standing on my heels. its my first week off frames.

knees are bent in the morning i have to spend time straightening it before i can start walking. started walking with a walker now 12 days after 2nd surgery. slight pain in my knees from the locking screws. dunno how people could stand this pain after 1 month...hopefully my knee pain goes away. currently wrapping it to feel better. my next goal is to stand up while sitting without support. pretty hard to do when u see your buddy next to u doing it. one of my room mate since i started lengthening have left and went home which sucks and another room mate that is fixing her bent knees just left after a few weeks. having your room mates leaving one after another kinda sucks. i just got another room mate that came in n there gonna leave before me too.

ive straighten my leg when im in a laying position but when in a standing position im having a hard to straightening my legs. i still havent figure out why my knee are so stiff when im standing. does anyone know why?
im walking with a walker with little pain. just my knee doesnt go straight. my pt guy havent done anything for it yet. only when im laying down my legs are straight.

cyborg has a website dedicated to people who think they might have a problem during leg lengthening or simoly wanna ask questions about anything regarding lengthening, try to find the website, i think he has it under one of his recent videos.

ive watched several videos of his already. mostly asking doctors questions that ive seen.
i been walking alot lately like 1200 steps a day and my tibia muscles have balloon in size. it was bigger than before my surgery. i feel like i have 2 different ways to walk. one way to walk quick with the help of the walker and another is walking slower with less use of the walker. i think the slower the walk is better.
i think the bent knee is part of the lumbar lordosis . hopefully that goes away because it reduces height.

This is normal for you. You are used to walking aids in the past. You have to adjust the stress through exercise and stretching, and eat more nutritious food.

i have walked alot today and feel my foot burning sensation coming back. my foot has some nerve pain but nothing noticeable. today it felt like burning once before when i had my frames on. hopefully its not like this all the time.
im not sure how long my nerves will take to heal but i hear from 1-6 months. to not even healing at all. its so bad.

Thank you for being active and keeping us updated.

I wish you the best for your recovery.
