Hi Everyone. It has been almost 2 years since my frame removal but my muslce still really tight. It they get tired and stiff after like 10 minutes walking, especially the shin area. Anyone has the same problem and how you treated. I got my surgery done in korea. When i check with dr in the US he said i might have to live with it the rest of my life. What he said just hit me hard.
It's good to see you back on the forum. How's everything? Didnt u lengthen with DH? how were the results?
Yes, I had this problem. I was diagnosed with exertional compartment syndrome in my tibialis anterior muscles. The treatment was a fasciotomy on those muscles.
Is walking for hours still possible after tibia LL? Up to how many hours?
Im doing well. Just had another xray after a year. Bone healing is good ( even thought my recovribg speed is lower than average). I only have problem with muscle stiffness. Yes i got it done with Dr Donghoon

How is your condition now? And where did you get your follow up visits? Thanks went to a orthopedic surgeon in the US but seems like they don’t have much experience with cosmetic limb lengthening. This morning he told me i have to live with my condition the rest of my life 
that hit me hard
My condition is much improved. Fasciotomy is an effective treatment.
Go to a better doctor and ask to be tested for exertional compartment syndrome. My diagnosis and treatment were handled by my health insurer.

Yes. Many hours.
Did you ask Donghoon on his opinion?
