As of 2.8cms gained, things are still pretty painless. I'm into video games and don't remember that I'm an LL patient most of the day. Kinda accepted my cripple state well. I've gotten so used to moving around the bed dragging my legs to reach something and the heavy feeling that it's normal.
During physio, my left leg still outperforms my right leg because it's stronger in the quads. I've been getting a muscle pull like feeling in a tiny area in my right leg between my glutes and abductors while doing side leg movements.
My sleep is mostly ok, I sleep at 1am and wake up by 6-7 but sometimes my sleep breaks once or twice wherein I wake up and go back to sleep in a minute. Yesterday I went to bed really sleepy and woke up only 4 hours later with slightly uncomfortable legs. They weren't even in pain, I thought "is this seriously what woke me up?!" Then I took a pain pill to ensure good sleep, the only one I've taken in the past 10 days and it helped, I was fast asleep until I was woken up 3 and a half hours later. I won't take pain pills unless I'm in 3/10 pain or higher(not happened once till now) or it's one of those days I really want 7 hours of sleep cause I haven't had it in forever.
The only things that have been consistently aching are my calf muscles and I can't figure out why, but I use the hot water bag like 6-7 times a day.
I'll be going to Mangal Anand this Thursday for X-Rays and a consultation.
For those doing LL in India: If you have to travel somewhere mid LL, like I have to travel 30 minutes from my home to Mangal Anand, use something called Meru Enabled. Big cab that comes with a wheelchair. The slope comes down, you're set on it, slope goes up and you're magically in the car. Driver buckles you up and you're set. It's great and a half an hour ride or so is just 500-600 INR, that's like $10.
(ofc i hope it stays same.GL)
