I just finished my surgery. The same time yesterday, a nursey came my room gave my hip a shot, I do not know what it is. But my head starts going crazy. What happened if I get disabled. What happened if I could ever walk normal, should I do the surgery or not? If I stop the surgery will I be regret when I get old? I keep asking my DR that what happened if they hurt my nerves, the DR keep smile says they had 1000 surgeries. there only three patients had never damage, but it's curable. He keeps smile told me I have to think positive way, I need to free my mind, everything will be fine. But I am still scared hell, I start prey, hope everything will be fine, I need think positive, after my surgery, I will wear pretty jeans pretty dressing, nobody will call me shorty again. Girl, do not be chicken

nerve damage is not common if your surgeon is at least average capable, the worrying thing for you should be equinus.

Good luck to you in your recovery.  Think ahead and think positive.  Keep up with your physical therapy exercises.  Hopefully you'll be wearing those pretty jeans in the months ahead.

Wishing you the best.

So you had your surgery and are now recovering?   Did you do femurs or tibias?   I assume tibias?

What was your starting height?

My surgery start at 7pm  on December 20th after my roommate. She ask me record her surgery time, she spends two hours in the operation room yesterday. Now she is crying, because they just force her to start use the walker. Her whole face turn to red, full of tears on her eyes. She tried, but it's too painful for her, I lought at her, she is little embarrassed. But soon, they ask me to walk too. I am glad they gave me some painkillers before I start walk, the pain is managementable, but I still need take a deep breath on every steps. The nurse ask me how's my feeling, I says great. But in my heart, I really do not want to try it again soon, if they ask me walk more, I think I will cryed as same as a babe.

What is your age ?
And why did you choose to undergo with LL ?
Women,unlike man,don't get significant advantages from that,on the contrary for example, think about scars on women's legs.Pros are overwhelmed by contros

Hey Ghost, congratulations on your journey so far, and thanks for sharing it with us.

How many cm are you planning to lengthen? Purely external or LON?
