To Big Decision:

What you are writing does not make much sense to me.  What does your MD say about your situation?

If you had one week for your corrections, why did you correct .5 cm in one day? 

What is your conclusion regarding why you cannot do one-legged leg lifts?

Me lengthening that much was a reckless decision on made.

If you want to know how it feels,  u can imagine putting heavy weight on ur foot and try to lay back on your back and lift ur foot.

My feet feel heavy,  really heavy ,  so when i try to lift it I feel lots of pressure on my knee.

I hope you understand that your MD or anyone else can only help you to the extent you give complete and accurate information.

You lengthened quite a bit -- 7.5 CM; not a small amount.  Then, you corrected one leg .5 CM in one day -- why?

No matter why you did what you did, it seems you should expect that your feet will be "dead" for awhile given the specific course of your lengthening.

Are you wearing compression stockings?

7,5cm is a good amount,  but there are people who lengthen more and they are ok

 Not wearing compression stockings  waiting to meet my physiotherapist and ask about right compression stockings.
I don't have much info about it

5mm in one day... That had to hurt.

To Big Decision:

I found compression stockings to be almost immediately beneficial.  It seems the compression reduces the pain associated with edema AND squeezes out the excess fluid.

Also, if any of your pin sites are still draining; the compression stockings will help dry things up--just get two pairs so one can be cleaned while you wear the other.

I suspect your concerns will begin to resolve themselves as you rest, eat, sleep, and get stronger.  For me, I felt a little better everyday.

However, it seems like you might benefit from a physical therapist 3x per week.

Please please think about
Heinrich's Law:

in a workplace, for every accident that causes a major injury, there are 29 accidents that cause minor injuries and 300 accidents that cause no injuries.

In Russia there has been too many nerve damage problems
In the future someone may get more severe permanent nerve damages

Anyone considering Russia should be aware of the higher risk
Even with femurs there have been nerve complications

How come some people don’t feel the pangs of conscience after knowing the fact and keep promoting Russia still
