Hi Guys,
I'm going to do lon femur surgery soon. What was it like with you? Most patients have reported that they had terrible pain for the first 2 weeks (despite blatant painkillers like Tramadol, Tilidin etc.). The pain wouldn't really go away in the 3 months in the hospital, but the body gets used to it.
What was it like with you? My doctor will anesthetize me completely up to my legs, I will be able to see and feel normally upstairs. I can even see how he's going to operate on me.
I have concerns about the pain and being alone because I come to a foreign country without being able to speak the language, etc. I will definitely not give up my stay because I have a goal of at least 8 cm in my head. However, I have heard from the doctor and team that they have had patients who have reached less than 8cm and even dropped out because of the PAIN. This thought kind of scares me because, as I said, I don't want to leave the hospital under 8 cm under any circumstances!
How were the first days/weeks after the operation for you? Have you taken any special means to accelerate bone growth? What I also found disturbing was that a great number of patients lost up to 20 kg in these 3 months because of all the stress and pain.
You can also write to me privately and sorry for my crap english. Write everything here how you felt and did before, during and after your operation.
Good luck and health my crazy people.
Soon Operation lon femur - questions concerns and fears
Quote from: Payam193 on January 26, 2023, 08:06:06 PMNever do LON on Femurs! It's much more painful, and most important of all has increased risk of deep infection, which can cost you a leg. Do yourself a favor and save up for internal lengthening with G-nail or Precice 2. If you don't you will regret it...
Hm okay but do u have any proofs? I saw in 2 hospitals many patients were in the process of making femurs. I only saw one who had side effects and he then got a tibia free of charge and the femur was fine again with a few centimeters of growth. However, this patient was 42 years old. For the infection you have the physiotherapy team who take care of it every day. So why the hype you could lose your leg? Have you personally seen someone lose their leg or have you written down your fears?
Funny, whenever you ask for evidence, people go silent. Guys, if you're scared, go to the hospitals and look at the team, the patients, etc., but don't write your fears in indirectly here.
