take your tramadol, why do you this to yourself? rolling around in pain for 2 hours in the middle of the night? thats insanity and totally unnecessary

tramadol max daily dose = 400 mg

take 75-100mg around 9pm and have a restful sleep like a normal person

i did 2 months in frames and took 75 mg tramadol/paracetamol 3 times a day for a combined total of 225mg tramadol/1800 mg paracetamol per day

pain = basically non existent to maximum 1/10. did 1mm per day too til the end

no opiate addiction too because tramadol is the weakest opiate

GOOD LUCK

Thank you, I took tramadol before sleep to ensure a as painless night as possible. Nowadays I barely have any strong pains anymore, maybe also contributed by only lenghtening 0,75 per day now. So I don’t need tramadol as often.

Xrays from day 35 post surgery:

Unfortunately due to slow callus formation, I was advised to slow my lengthening. I began doing 0,75mm/day and will see if situation is improved for the next Xray.

Overall, I have no pain or very manageable pain levels nowadays. Only big problem is that my left leg is limping due to the anterior tibialis muscle being weak. Furthermore my left ankle feel extremely fragile when I try to take a step forward and it is difficult to dorsiflexon due to stiffness (Not due to achilles or calve tightness) I am doing exercises to fix this. Hopefully it will pass soon as I’m trying to walk as much as possible for callus formation.

Take care.

callus does look really strained and weak, do you eat enough calories? protein is what builds the callus, you need to be hitting the protein hard every single day

get some more meats and eggs going in there, 5 eggs whole eggs a day minimum and dont worry about the cholesterol myth, when you eat a lot of eggs the body lowers its own cholesterol to keep its internal balance

I have been drinking protein shakes and eating plenty of protein and taking  all the necessary vitamins/minerals. Basically the same diet as my roommate who has very good callus on his Tibia/fibula. It’s a mystery to me… Could be my inconsistent sleep, I wake up every 2 hours and in total maybe get 5-6 hours per night.

I have been upping my weightbearing as an attempt to increase callus. We will see next week’s xray. Hopefully some improvement or I will have to slow down further
