Hello,
My surgery was done yesterday. The pain was only after surgery before giving me pain killer. First night was great with no pain and with CPM usage 2 hours 3 times a day. Target lengthening is just 7 mm. I am leaving the hospital tomorow.
I will update u after a couple of days
I am at the hotel, already lengthened 1.5 mm.
I am on oxycodone 5 mg twice a day because without it i feel pain 8/10 when moving. I am walking with crutshes and go to macys 2 hour per day then hotel and stretching.
Incisions are minimal and i m happy with this.
I wish that people that have small discrepancy can benefit from my case.
In a few days you'll be painless.
Please update your case to know how much that small lld correction helped you.
Keep strong!
I have done the 7 mm lengthening. Lengthening with ERC is not painful but after 10 mins of each 0.25 mm lengthening u need to stretch because u ll feel pain 7/10. If u take oxycodome there will be no pain.
I already feel that i am like 90% balanced (i left a couple of mm) because i am afraid of overlengthening and i am fine with 7 mm ( tried shoes mofification years before the surgery).
4 weeks and i ll leave crutshes
No pain after finishing lengthening
I dont see many ppl intersted but anyway if anyone has a question i am ready for help
Please don't take it personally. It's just one of those questions that gets asked in threads like this. It's perfectly understandable if you don't want to share pics, or anything more than what you already shared with us.
However, in the case you don't mind, would you be willing to post any kind of evidence you had this surgery with Dr. Rozbruch? A picture of the ERC, a picture of an X-ray: anything that substantiates the journey posted here.
your experience would be valuable to other CLLer who may choose Dr. Rozbruch. Please do update how the scars fade in the near future. Best of luck on your recovery.
Congrats hamza.
I am not sure how a 1cm difference was significant honestly. One of my legs was 1cm shorter than the other on a scan but even though I knew it as a fact I couldn't remember which leg it was.
What were your symptoms that you were recommended surgery?
I am just curious, please dont take in the wrong sense.

I will surely put a picture of the very small and professional incisions but i prefer to wait untill i can walk. I ll send the dr an xray via DHL at the end of this month and he will tell me if i can start walking without crutshes. Note that i can provide my phone number in a private msg to anyone who needs to ask any question.

Dont worry,
I already have imbalance because of mild charcot marie tooth disease CMT1 and i did cavus foot surgery on both 10 years ago and it results in 4 mm extra difference and since that time i cant run or walk fast wothout shoe modification. Without modification i feel back pain and imbalance.

Scars are perfect. I think if later on i go to the beach for tan they will disappear.
