PAIN and veterans (just following fixator removal)

Edit Post

Thanks for this topic really helping people who are concerning the surgery.
This is a very heavy surgery really not easy. For me I experience #10 of very high pain that sometime painkiller is not responding. During my lengething I was very disappointed as I really believed it’s hard but how hard it can be?  But I would like to explain it as this.
Every day is different, there is two part to this (pain and discomfort) the pain vary everyday and every day to me there were a new type of pain. The most horrible pain was Pin pain when I felt like my full Tibia got stapled with a sharp knife. And the second pain was nerve pain that I cry my soul. I experience pain that I never experience or even thought it exist.
would I do it again ? Absolutely not with LON but I would highly recommend to go for precies it’s not going to be painless but at least you won’t have the discomfort and the extra pain that comes with the precies (the discomfort of the LoN I would discrbe it as if you are wearing a two size smaller than your normal shoe size and you can’t take it off. Will that be a feeling that you can hold into for a 2-3 months ?

I had 10/10 pain twice during LL (it lasted only a second or so)

Then I had 9/10 for about 30 seconds on end, from time to time

And I had 8/10 for about an hour once. This was the most difficult one. As an atheist I still invoked god

The rest was a constant 4/10

Yeah... painful stuff.
