Well sir the picture you painted is completely different from the reality I am witnessing here. Understand the point, if u can - if anyone puts on a diary without posting pictures and only text, it'll will surely make u question its credibility; similarly if you are criticizing a qualified, experienced doctor, just words are not enough, you must provide a little background of yours for us to take you more seriously. We can't just take a word from any unqualified, random person surfing the forum with no medical knowledge.
And what do mean by marketing patients? If a patients appreciates his doctor, according to you he must have encountered a complication - is that u infer? are even for real?
I am localite here since birth, I know my city and I have a support system. Although I am confident about my choice, just to share, there is not just one doctor in the country, unlike the others I have the luxury of borrowing second opinion. Based on this view, your comment on my diary earlier about some tibial torsion is not logical. I could dive deeper into this with you, now that I have discussed it with my doctor and a few others, but no point.
But please do answer the question raised earlier, for I am curious - are you doctor, prospective patient, or a vetran LL'r??
My LL Journey - Tibia LON - Dr. Pradip Sharma
Quote from: more on March 06, 2021, 11:00:18 AMI am sorry if you are hurted ,will never comments on any diary of Dr. Pradeep. This forum to discuss the problems and share the journey.
Good luck
Don't be apologetic, and I am not hurt. You can comment on my diary as much as you like; besides, it is an open forum with no restrictions. However, if you genuinely have a query I am more than happy to help, and even borrow the doctors opinion for you on the respective concern. Understand sir, you pointed a complication (not even related to LL), which I had to clarify with a Doctor.
And I request you to please don't make it sound like Dr. and I are relatives. I paid the Dr. for his services, and I am getting the services. This is a professional relationship. If I am appreciating their work, please read that as my feedback.
If anywhere down the line I am not satisfied with their work I will definitely post it on the forum with same honesty.
According to you - the so called marketing patients, if any (I doubt), (I assume) who encounter complications and hide them and still appreciate their Doctors in hope for rectification (in my opinion) are nut cases. A doctor who has wronged you once can do it again, better not to take any chances and consult a different doctor.

Yes, u get a helper.
For price related queries, please reach out Harry. He is supervising everything here. Plus, I don't want to open any figures myself or do any kind of advertising on the my timeline.
Hi, can anyone suggest how can I better my sleep in these heavy frames, especially during night time. Would be really helpful to hear from current patients or veteran patients of LON.
Just to share, there is no pain as such but a huge discomfort when changing from one position to another. I am not quite used to sleeping straight, on my back for long time. While shifting positions, I have to be really careful of the alignment of the frames, otherwise I feel soreness around pin sites, which kind of feels like some pressure on knee. I tried using pillow as a support under the knee, but it does not seem like a lasting solution.
Thanks in advance.
Quote from: Jason125 on March 10, 2021, 04:35:27 PMHey bro, just wanna say your so brave for getting this done! How's your walk so far, any updates in walking since your last vid? Any issue with constant pain? I'm looking to have LON for Tibia too, just wanted to hear more about the experiences with patients. Hope you have a smooth recovery!
Hey man, thanks for the kind words. Walking has been definitely better since the last video, however still using the walker's support. Just to share, I have not done much walking over the last couple of days as my PT advised to wait until the next x-ray, which is scheduled for this weekend. There is no report of constant pain. I have not taken any pain meds since the start of distraction phase, so pain is not much of an issue so far. In my opinion, Tibia LON is much safer and aesthetically better than lengthening femurs. Take care.
Day 35: Hi, could not update for a long time, the last week went pretty heavy. I was under the weather since Thursday. Suffered high fever which lasted for almost 3 days. Due to weakness, I could not follow much exercises. Most of the time I was resting lazy on the bed. Also took break from lengthening. Extra points for the staff, which was very caring. Harry paid multiple visits to check on my condition, which was comforting. Doctor Sharma also paid a visit, he confirmed viral fever and advised a few medics to better the condition. Dr. examined and assured that my legs are in good condition. I felt a little anxious here as I was feeling very low out of the fact that I could not pull even an inch of exercise. I thought all my progress got pushed behind but Dr. assured that strength in legs will rebound once fever settles and weakness subsides. Today feeling is much better, legs are feeling stronger, also started mild workout. Today resumed distraction at the rate of 1 mm.
Day 36: Today I got my X-rays done, also met the Dr. according to him we are on the right track and all is well. There is also some callus build-up that can be seen in between the bone gap. From tomorrow onwards, I will slow down the distraction rate to 0.75mm per day. Below is the link to my X-rays.
