Quote from: Tenau dawit on December 29, 2024, 04:06:24 PMDoing physio by myself right now but I’m planning on taking at least 2-3 weekly sessions with a physiotherapist, my range of motion is good I think, I’m able to extend my knee fully, my ankle is also ok I just have pain in the front pin site on my ankle which is causing me pain so that’s something I need to deal with.
About nail removal it’s a long way until that.. I don’t think that’s included.
Yeah I can go inside the shower, just dragging myself inside and sitting on a small chair and washing myself, it’s a bit hard to put shorts on because the of the frames but I can do it.
Right now I’ve slowed my lengthening to .75 instead of 1 mm because I got so much pain during the night that it was hard for me to sleep even tho I took paracetamol, so I will try to alternate between.75 to 1 mm per day
I did 1mm per day, but only rarely. For the most part it was .75 mm or .50mm. I definitely had less pain when distracting at a slower rate.
The ankle wires are the absolute worst. I hated them until I got the frames removed. Try to take it one day at a time. Aldo, the more you occupy your mind with something, the less you'll tend to notice the pain. Playing a difficult video game always helped my pain tolerance in that regard.
How are you finding the Hotel Maharana staff? They were great when I was there, so wondering if it's still a comfortable space for accommodation.
lon tibia with dr parihar-december 2024
I like the hotel, it feels like my new home now, very comfy and the staff here are very nice and taking good care of me, I have assistant from the hotel who helps with cleaning and stuff and some days they give me the breakfast to my room so they are very nice to me and that’s great
Yeah you right about slowing down, it’s probably the best and less painful but I’m feeling this pain in my ankle wires even tho I’ve done .75 and I guess I won’t feel any difference when doing 1 mm, I just want to stand in my time frame because I don’t want to stay in India so long, and if I’ll do .75 and .5 all the process would take a lot longer, but I may consider that if the pain will be more severe
Hi, can you walk normally now? I had an external surgery on December 1st. Now it has been lengthed by 18mm, 0.75mm a day, without any pain, and can walk flexibly with a walker, but don't know when I can walk normally without a walker.
No I can’t walk at all probably during all lengthening, and will probably walk normally in 6-7 months if everything goes well
Quote from: Tenau dawit on December 01, 2024, 02:45:03 PMi cant believe im actually writing this, but im 4 days away from my surgery!!!
currently in mumbai preparing for the surgery, buying things i need and settling in..
right now im in hotel maharana inn like some patients of dr parihar in the past,done some checks and measurements the last few days, and i actually dont know where to start from so just ask me any questions and i will be more than happy to answer
my stats:
height measured by the clinic was 168.6cm but i think they had slight mistake, measured a month ago at 170cm evening height
weight: about 67-68 kg
wingspan: 169
method: lon tibia
goal- 5.5-6cm max, in height about 175.5-176cm
New update on pain - so I started getting some nerve pain in my ankle, where the wires comes out and it’s just terrible because every time I move my leg too much, I’m getting this sharp cutting like sensation that makes me just want to scream, also when I’m cleaning those pins it’s just a nightmare and I have to do that for 60+ more days..
And got some pain in the inner side of the knee, there’s a small wire there that cuts my flesh and muscle and just limiting my range of motion(because of the pain), so tomorrow I’m gonna try do physio at the hospital, just to see if I’m ok and can keep on with the exercises until they arrange someone to come and do the physio with me
Pain throughout the day is 3/10, sometimes spikes to 6-7/10 but just for small amount of time, and nighttime is probably the worse, trying to find a comfy position is just not the same as it was a week ago, feeling pain and muscles stretching and it’s gonna be a difficult ride til 5 cm+
Right now lengthening at a pace of .75 - left leg is 1.5 cm and right 1.125 cm
Happy new year y’all 🥳🥳🥳
Hello!!! I hope you feel better soon and pain gets better.
If you don't mind, may I know what would be the best way to contact Dr Parihar's team for initial consultation? I am thinking femur LON for maximum 8cm and seriously considering Dr Parihar for the procedure.
And another thing is, is hotel/in person PT sessions worth it? How much do they charge usually?
Thank you I’m feeling better now as I’m taking antibiotics and ultracet and Pregablin at night for the pain.
Also contacting him through email is the way, and he’s not doing femur external for cosmetic because that’s probably the worst thing to do for cosmetic
Precice and internal nails are not available right now at India from what I know
