Here is my first X-ray post frame removal surgery. Apparently, the callus build is lesser in the right leg. I doubt, if that's what causing soreness in the right leg's shin area as I'd indicated earlier. My both feet are almost touching the ground but still stiff and need some work. I also did a little walking with walker's support, this was my first walking post frame removal. While taking steps, I was feeling more pressure in the right leg as compared to the left. Harry has advised me to get a shin brace for support and cautioned me to avoid putting full weight on the leg for a few days.

This is actually a surprise 'coz when in frames my right leg was fine and left leg was more troubled but now the condition is just opposite.

At this point do you forsee yourself being able to walk unassisted after another 3 months? As of yet do you regret doing the surgery?

Hi Guys - Apologies for the long break, got busy with some personal stuff, couldn't find time for the forum. Please find below the update on my situation

Day 103: I am able to sleep well and sound at night. My sleep cycle is improving. Pain and soreness in both legs is down compared to when in frames. On a standalone basis (not comparing the frame time), when my legs are stationary they feel just normal without pain; however when I do walking exercises, I feel some pain in the right legs shin and in left leg the pain is below the knee. The reason I have been told for the pain is - In the right leg, shin pain is due to less callus formed compared to the other leg so when I walk or exert pressure, with less callus the pressure comes straight on the rod giving me a sting sort of pain. In the left leg, because strength and flexibility is relatively more than the right, the pain arises due to excess weight being transferred on the leg to support balance, which causes stress in the tendons (the rubbery muscle below the knee). Harry says that both of these pains will tame down with time.

I have started full weight bearing. My walk is improving with walker. Started experimenting crutches. On the first day, crutches were real pain and exhausting. however, the performance is getting better with time and I am regaining balance.

Will soon post a video with crutches in my next post, hopefully my walking will get better by then.

Yes - 2.25 inches are sure noticeable. I am still mostly on bed, but when I stand and walk I do feel the difference.
