Quote from: shortisnotfun on February 18, 2023, 04:09:17 AMI got the external fixator removed. It was the most painful experience of my entire life and trumps the first surgery. It was 10/10 pain for atleast 11 hours. I was curled up in a fetal position and begging for help and pain medicine from the nurses every hour. The nurses were extremely sweet to me and they were concerned but none of the pain medication they give me helped me at all. Just an uncontrollable stiffness and throbbing pain 10/10 in my shins and ankles that refused to subside. I fell asleep for like 3 hours woke up and feel much better. My pain is 6/10 now
It was like someone taking a screwdriver and jamming it into your shins every second
can you post xray before fixator removal? and after removal and nail instalation

Awesome! Do you have any type of pain? Nerve pain?

I'm not really sure yet, as I haven't tried walking unassisted or assisted. The pain from the fixator removal and the nailing surgery is still really strong for me

I know why you have more pain than the others, you did not have the internal nails before.
From the X-ray, it looks like the left leg is longer.

deleted comment I thought he was doing femur
Quote from: OzBoy39 on December 22, 2022, 07:24:17 PMFrom the “height” of my older self and my older age, let me try to speculate what is possibly going on here.
-in the last few months we’ve seen an influx of Gnail and Betzbone patients who have practically debunked the older rationale that clicking was an atrocious experience only comparable to torture.
-Together with that we also realised through the same patients that the Greece and Germany options seem to be quite pleasant and that both teams there are quite competent.
-Stride ain’t coming back anytime soon and ita replacement is looking behind schedule as well.
-new prospective patients (from the US too) are starting to move to destinations where they offer weight bearing nails.
-these ain’t anymore 3rd world destinations that people are scared of. And prices and packages are more affordable.
-somebody loosing revenue
-somebody starting to release the hounds to try and run a scaremongering campaign on the people of this forum.
May not be this case, but every time you follow the money, you always get somewhere very interesting.
are you trying to say the USA doctors are making fake bad diaries of the euro and turkey doctors? I dont understand. or you think the betz/gio diaries are fake? both? I assume the first is your conclusion but I see literally no negative betz/gio diaries recently and yes I see negative turkey ones but its always been like that.
I'm 25 days into consolidation. I walk without crutches in a living space and in the hotel pretty comfortably, but I prefer to use one crutch for stability. I walk about 5km everyday pretty much now. My bone consolidation is really good.
