Hi Everyone !
I am "youknow" and I'm completely new to this forum. My goal is to gain 6cm on my tibia.
After months of research and consideration, my tibial lengthening surgery using LON method ( Illizarov ) was done on Feb 6,2022( D day) with Height Increase Info team. Its been 10 days now and I'm gaining my mobility and flexibility day by day. Due to stay in hospital and ICU I could not share my first 10 days of experience. However I remember how the initial days were, The pain after the surgery was bit okay compared to others , I would rate ( 5 out of 10 ) in the first week. This is may be because I am into fitness and might be my pain tolerance is on the higher sider compared to others and also it is completely depends on the individual. Note that I was also on pain killers, vitals and other antibiotics for 5 days in the ICU.
After the discharge , I am staying in a guest house with the height increase info team.
I remember Dr. Hirdesh ( physiotherapist ) made me sit on the bed and I kept my legs on the floor on the 2nd day of the surgery. There was some pain in my knee area due to the Pin insertions and the stitches. Dr. Sunil Saini ( surgeon) also visited me everyday during the hospital stay to check on me and thankfully everything went well during the hospitalisation.
Right now I have been doing two physio sessions per day. The pain levels are coming down once the sessions are completed and my mobility&flexibility is increasing however there is some pin site pain and pain in the osteotomy, I hope it will reduce by doing more physio sessions. I also take painkillers before bed only if necessary. Most of the times I try not to rely on pain killers because it can have other side effects.
I have started my distraction process on Feb 14 by 1mm / day and gained almost 3mm till now. Thankfully things have been going smooth and hope will reach my goal of 6 cm without much hurdles.
I'll be sharing experience in the following days & Watch this space for more
