I asked the doctor today he said to lengthen two time per day for 3 days and then continue with four times per day. Let's see if the knee pain drops a little. The knee pain is so much worse today than it was any other day beside the first week after surgery.
tell me you doctor 谢谢
It's normal for pain to be worse at night
PTs should be able to help. You can tape your knees and move your patellas around manually a little bit
Your left leg has misalignment which is causing knee pain during extension and flexion. Right leg is slightly better . Joints space has been reduced which will cause a lot of problems , be careful and before removal the apparatus ask your doctor to correct it.
Do you mean the right leg is worse? Left leg xray looks more aligned to me. Which problems will be caused by joints space being reduced ?
you doctor name?

Sorry my mistake it is right knee which is misaligned , if joint space is reduced you can't bend your leg in normal range and will always have knee pain and osteoarthritis
The space wasn't narrow before I started lengthening, it narrowed once I started lengthening. Check out my xray right after the surgery the space seemed normal. How to fix this??? Dr doesn't seem to care and keeps saying everything is OK. Will he be able to fix the misalignment once he removes the device, wouldn't it be too late at that point since bone will already have consolidated and connected ??

That looks extremely misaligned. Maybe email Dr Assayag for another opinion - I know he sometimes lurks this forum.
Who is your doctor?
'Dr doesn't seem to care and keeps saying everything is OK.' ->then I think you should get a second opinion from another doctor also, not just forum members!
