Lon tibia 5cm

On the second day today, this was a really uncomfortable surgery. My foot was bent at about 70 degrees and I couldn't get out of bed for rehabilitation. Looking at the surgical stent, I was a little worried that it would not heal. No matter what, I had to find a way to get through it!

Original height 169
 Target height 174

 Add five centimeters

 The day has finally come
 After overcoming all difficulties, finally arranged the surgery schedule.
 My epiphyseal plate will be back on tomorrow
 The first three days were the hardest
 I want to take painkillers first
 If I can't stand it, I will use an injection to relieve the pain.

 Thanks for the information provided by seniors
 This time it’s my turn to give back to you all!

On the third day, I feel much better than yesterday, and I am gradually getting used to the shelf on my legs. However, I can’t get out of bed yet. The wound will still bleed. It will be painful when changing the dressing, but it is bearable. My head is a little dizzy, as if I have been lying down for too long. I hope it gets better and better

On the fourth day, the pain decreased a lot. I still can't bend my feet too much. It feels tight now. I really want to get out of bed and walk around, but it will take a while. My appetite is not good. I don't know if it is caused by taking too much medicine. Stomach pain, so far, I have shared with you the above

Sorry, please allow me not to disclose the surgery hospital. When I perform surgery in Asian countries, I choose tibia because it is simple and safer. This is the most common height-increasing surgery.

I want to post a photo, but I don’t know why it can’t be posted.

 Thank you, brother upstairs

 On the fifth day, I took an x-ray today.
 Generally speaking, it is acceptable
 My health has been improving and getting better.
 But going to the toilet is really a headache
 Others are fine
 I hope I can live more independently in a wheelchair in the future
 It will be updated from time to time.  .  .

Day 8
 The swollen and uncomfortable feeling in my feet still exists. My doctor ordered me to lie in bed throughout the extension period. This is really torture. The more I lie down, the more uncomfortable I feel. I really want to end this as soon as possible. Every day is long and difficult. I hope After a while, I will be able to move around in a wheelchair.
 My thigh muscles have begun to get smaller, probably because I have been lying down for too long. This is definitely the biggest challenge in life. You really need to think carefully before proceeding. If time comes back, I should be able to do it one foot at a time. Foot surgery, not both feet at once

I keep the painkillers, but I rarely take them because of the pain, because what makes me miserable is lying in bed for 24 hours. I look forward to getting out of bed and using a wheelchair. Today, my feet feel less swollen. Maybe I can in a few days. The challenge of sitting in a wheelchair

About $35,000

Day 17 +6mm
 Currently lengthening by 1mm per day
 0.25×4
 Soreness, swelling, and tightness begin to appear
 I think most people show up after three centimeters.
 It seems like mine was too early
 I don’t know if I can stick to my goal of 5 centimeters.
 If i can't bear it
 I will try lowering the extension speed
 Hope to achieve the goal

Thank you for your advice bro, if the pain is beyond my tolerance, I think I will take it

Day 21 +10mm

I don’t know if 1mm of extension per day is too much. I couldn’t stand the pain yesterday and took painkillers. I’m considering whether to slow down the extension to 0.75mm per day.

Slowing down is indeed the best way, and the pain has also gone down. Yesterday I tried 0.75mm speed extension and my body felt better. Thank you guys for reminding me.

Ok
Let's talk in private

Day 41
 +25mm

 Recently, I switched between 0.75mm and 1mm for extension. However, I often need to slow down and rest after accelerating, otherwise it will be very painful. Recently, I also found that ants would come to bite my wound. It was really scary. Later, I sprayed some essential oil and it became less likely. , In addition, the tendon of the right calf has become tight and painful recently. I hope it will get better after a while, because it is only 2.5 centimeters now, which is still far from my goal of 5 centimeters.

Day49
+30mm

 I went back to the doctor yesterday and took an x-ray
 The doctor found that the bone was not healing
 Oh my God, I actually encountered it too
 The doctor prescribed forteo and asked me to inject it
 But I'm worried about getting tumors
 So there is no injection
 Come back later and find a solution quickly
 Later, everyone on the forum seemed to think that it would be good to stop the extension or reverse the extension.
 So starting from today, the reversal is extended
 I hope the callus will grow back slowly
-0.5mm per day until -2mm


 I'm really afraid that the bones in my body won't heal at all.
 I feel sorry for my family
 I told them I'd be fine in a few months
 Tell them not to worry
 I didn’t expect to encounter bone non-healing
 In serious cases, it may be a long-term war of resistance
 Please Let me grow calluses
 I'm willing to reduce some goals
 It might as well be 4.5 cm or 4 cm

Hi bagga

 thank you for your reply
 I feel like the bone is not healing
 It's because after almost two months, the X-ray shows no callus between the bones.
 The doctor seems to be healing very slowly.
 honestly
 I am also not certain
 It should be said that I am afraid that the bone will not heal.
 In fact, we won’t know if it’s getting better until the next x-ray is taken.

 Not being able to walk is a doctor's rule
 I also feel helpless and have to lie down all the time

 As for the complexity of the surgery
 I only knew before
 There are fewer nerves, blood vessels, etc. in the calf than near the thigh.
 So complications may be less
 That’s why I thought it would be simpler and less risky.
