Thanks everyone, despite having four infections (three have since healed), I am fine.
I was started on a course of antibiotics (Amox/Clav aka Augmention1000 mg/day) by Doctor fahri. After 2-3 days, i was not feeling well again. Increased dosage to 2000-3000 mg/day.
Pain is mostly dealable and under control. You don't relaly get used to it. It is just, less.
I am on Katadalon and Ibuprofen (only two drugs) but if there is discomfort I will take Ketorolac (similar to Ketoprofen).
I gave any intramuscular shot of ketorolac to myself last night but i suggest, just take the pills. The injection hurts and even though I think I injected my muscle, my fever just got worse after inj despite sterile technique (maybe something was not done in a sterile way and so my temperature went up).
I would advise anyone not having medical background NOT to self-injct and the needles in russia are also so large (21G).
Fahri does repond to your skype messages, no worries about that.
I am currently lengthening 1 mm/day, with not too much problems.
Anti-histamines are taken at night to sleep amidst all this discomfort.
So far, I have done 13.25 mm. Soon reaching 2 cm mark
Lengthening with Dr Bagirov in Moscow (9th December surgery date)
Seriously i feel no kick lenghtneing at 1 mm/day, shall i try 1.25/day today?
SG has top notch healthcare so i probably would go there to get another course of antibiotics.
I almost injected myself with a broad-spectrum antibiotics but the freaking container slipped off my grip, and bye bye to the self-injection.
No sigh of equinius still, and my dorsiflexion is still same as before (though a little less). Once dorsiflexion changes, we know equinus is coming ....
I find that, the more i lengthen, the more weird my legs feel.. i dont know how to explain the feeling.. the more weird it is to walk on walkers, ie my legs feel weaker?
since i am on anti-histamine for sleep these few days and will have femazepam for either tonight or tomorrow night, I will lengthen more... and then 0.75 on days I do not take any drugs for sleep.
No, stick with 1mm/day, u seem so "dumb", way too excited, you should know by experience from life that the effects aren't always immediate and if every top doctor says no more than 1mm than you better calm down and listen to their advice 
you are taking pain killers. try doing 1mm per day on no pain killers. then tell me you don't feel a kick lol 
Tomorrow i will go back to 0.75 mm/day instead of 1 mm/day even though there are no problems, why?
Elongation at 1 mm / day without any problem. Is it bad for athletic ability ?? This is what I asked.
According to dr:
Fahri
1: 58 AM
it is bad for the joints and consolidation
good lad.
my understanding is that the best lengthening rate for your soft tissue is 0.66mm per day.
its better to do this because you will not develop any micro tears in the soft tissue which will allow a better final outcome in the later stages as your soft tissue will still be in optimal form for being stretched.
0.75 is close enough I think.

I'd agree with him. Between 0.66-0.83 mm a day on the tibias is likely the best. However, I'd stick to the lower end if that range.
Yup, today I am lengthening 0.75 (and cut down to 0.5 if i need sleep)
Even with painkillers, 1.25 mm/day discomforts!
Yeah, 1.25 mm a day is simply too fast. Unless you're doctor gives other advice, I'd stick to about 0.75 mm a day.
