microman monorail tibias dr. mitkovic

Edit Post

mitkovic does do femurs, it has been said that the surgery pain is way worse then tibia but after that it is much the same thereafter.

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow. Here's to hoping all goes well.

Let us know how it goes

good luck with your surgery microman.

also just to clarify. external femurs is most definitely not the same as tibia after 2 weeks. they are completely different experiences.

if you go above 5cm for femur iv been told you can develop permanent muscle weakness.

Edit Post

You are talking about 5cm+ femurs with externals, or femurs with internals as well?
I've heard that the muscles get damaged by the pins piercing through so much muslce mass that it creates heavy damages.

Wish you all the best for your surgery microman.

I too planned for 5cm height gain initially, but as my lengthening was about to complete, I got greedy  Now I am doing 5.5cm instead.

Till 4.5cm, everything was good, it is my safe maximum. The last 1cm feels like I stretched my muscles a bit more than they can handle. My ankles are a bit stiff now, something like ballerina foot, but not severe, I am sure that will be alright with regular PT.  If I go any further, I will surely get ballerina foot, which might not be fixed with PT.

So, at around the 4.5cm or 5cm lengthening, you will know how much more lengthening your muscles can support. Take a decision accordingly irrespective of the doctor's advice. Every individual is different, doctors generally quote the generic-safe limit.

Doctors in my country also recomended 5cm with the external ilizarov method. But i read this on the forum for treatment not for plastic surgery.

had surgery, yean it's not painful, its more 'majorly discomforatble'

really it just feels like someoe has placed a heavy anvil on my legs,and it's crushing them, but its not true pain at all, i had laser hair remoal which was more pinful than this.

but, the issue is that this crushed leg feeiing is 24/7, there is no possibility to sleep like this at all.

i belive this is temporary and it will be gone in a few days.

yeah im going for 5cm, its all i need to be happy so its not worth all the time it woud take.

MRbones maybe that's the case for lon but the monorail devie may be diffent.

Hey man, I've been waiting for your update all evening It's good to hear you're not in any major discomfort. Maybe the nurses will give you something to help you sleep if need be, but yeah, it's probably just temporary.

Any idea how long the surgery took? And no complications at all?

Thanks.

Edit Post

Right now you're feeling the pain from the operation, not the pain from lengthening.  You'll recover from this in a few days.

yeah i asked for sleeping pill, the nurse didn'tunderstand me, but i used  google translate app on android phone and she understood so please bring that with you.

got about 3 hours sleep, i think your brain will at least get a main sleep despite the pain for about 3 hours anyway so its all good.

surgery was 2.5 hours apparently, mitkovic didn't mention any compications

today woke up in much less pain, soo much better.

i havent been moving my legs at all, no ecercises, the doctor didn't tell me to do so.
