Nail Removal with Dr. M Jan 19

Edit Post

I only stretch before / after working out now.
I think I stopped doing PT around 4 months after consolidation.

Met with Dr. M yesterday 1/17, everything was fine. Did my pre-surgery check up and  x-ray, doctor said I'm all good.
Honestly super stressed out and nervous right now.

By this time tomorrow I'll have been home and done with the surgery though. Long day ahead.

NAILS ARE OUT!!! LETS fkING GOOOO
Felt phenomenal. Literally no pain even with the medication worn off. Only a sore butt.
Anesthesia makes it so I can't pee, but god I feel amazing surprisingly.
Walked to the bathroom without crutches right after they took off some bandages.

Bro! Did you have stryde/what did nail look like after removal? Any rust/comments from Dr. M about the nail itself?

Edit Post

I had precice 2.2, no rust. I didn't get to see the nail, I think Dr. M had another operation right after mine.

Thank you man! Very happy with how the process turned out. Hope the best for you!

Day 2
Lots of pain in the morning! Didn't think I'd need painkillers or that it would get worse, but had to take an oxycodone. Can still waddle unassisted, looks like a penguin when I walk because my glutes are so sore lol.

No pain whilst walking but laying down on my sides hurts my glutes a lot and in general just very stiff. Much better than the first surgery though.

Are you using crutches/walker too? Or you're just mostly staying home for now?
Also, did you get more oxycodone / other painkillers after the surgery?
