As per not been able to bear weight you’ll be surprised what the body can do. Once the fixator is removed and the nail is locked in, I see no reason why you shouldn’t be able to.

Because of the fracture on left leg, but I’m really really hoping it’ll be fine to lock at the top

@Activatedxx hope you are healing and feeling better bro. was their a reason you couldn't stay in turkey during the lengthening process? I was told I'd be looking at a 3 month stay in turkey if I was to get the Lon procedure.

He didn’t want to. Plus he had other reasons as to why he had to head back. Knowing what I know now, I probably would have gotten the surgery stay here for a week or maybe 2 and headed back home. You get so home sick amongst other things. But yeah plan for 3+ months buy a round trip ticket, seeing the countdown on your return ticket helps mentally plus it’s cheaper that way. I planned for 105 days but I’m gonna be done here in about three weeks by Gods grace then I’ll stay an additional 2 for physio then I’m out. 15 days earlier than I anticipated

Hey man, I’m currently trying to finish strong, it gets so much harder once you hit 6cm+ every half a cm gets exponentially harder. My right leg is going to need a good amount of physio, I can’t straighten fully, I believe it can’t keep up with lengthening. I did 1.5mm today and yesterday, but stopped as I feel much tighter and more pain, but hey I saved a day with these fixators on

I went back because I became extremely depressed and homesick, but mainly because my wife had to go back so I didn’t want to stay there alone. On top of that my business had a break-in (been there 5 years and my first time taking time off it gets broken into)

Hey guys, just dropping the xrays I took today
https://imgur.com/gallery/7lbrPVa
Not sure how accurate the measurement tool is but I am at 7cm mark +/-

I am extremely anxious to have these off, my quality of life feels like a mental crisis. My anxiety/depression is like a 8/10 constantly, I can’t even enjoy or think about any height gain because all I care about is getting these fixators off and trying to get back to normal and doing the things I love. We take the small things and blessings for granted so much, I would kill for just a hot bath and a good nights sleep on my side

I have some moderate ballerina foot, my hamstrings are very tight and I cannot extend my legs all the way, if I warm up it gets better and I can touch heels to the ground but my hamstrings need some work for sure, I am sure they got tight from wearing shoe lifts all these years, I will definitely need physio to correct this, lengthening is getting much harder at this mark. This last cm is going to be pretty tough, thankfully I have had zero nerve pain, which is really weird. Every couple days my right leg shin will fall asleep/turn numb for 30 min but besides that no nerve pain so far , may stop at 7.5 or may stop at 8

God willing I plan to do removal this coming week

Hi

I saw your XRAY - Left side the nail was touching the rod.
I guessed you were doing the correction on it.

May I know if this issue was due to LL operation fault or something else?
Did Dr. Buldu help to do the correction without any cost as mentioned?
Is this mistake done by him?

Do you have a heating pad. I heard heat draws blood too whatever area you have it at. Might help with healing.
