I walked tiptoed and gradually pushed the heel down with each step. I agree it's more comfortable that way, and probably better for recovery too.
can i pls have dr bagirov contact? he seems way cheaper than the doctor in volgograd
i emailed him a [email protected] five days ago =(
really?
tiptoed better for recovery??? i do feel better doing it, just eel like i look funny doing it..
now the back of my ankle, i guess the tendon is sore as hello... I'm gonna not lengthen for a few days, then start again... think i need to rest a bit
Well, you start tiptoed and then you push down on the heels when you can. It's better than putting the foot flat and trying to force the leg forward when you walk.
Have an issue
My feet, only my feet, get incredibly dry around ankle and heel... doesn't happen anywhere else. .. anyone else experience this?
Hey guys
I finally booked an appointment with Dr Bagirov!
The main pull factor was the affordable price.
Crimson, to what extent did you find it necessary to ask Dr Bagirov about the specific medical details?
Eg, nerve and fascia release, as some patients did?
I find that it is pointless? He may say one thing and do another. And besides, he should be more trained than us.
Well, I think release would be helpful
Btw guys, need opinions.. I'm seriously considering getting lath by dr parihar, instead of keeping frames on... Not sure I can deal with having frames on much longer

You should probably go for it imo, considering youve lengthened at least 6 cm, and at a faster rate than i did (i did the recommended .75 mm/day). consolidation is slowed down the faster you lengthen, and according to Bagirov usually you lose out time in the long run if you lengthen faster even though you get through the lengthening phase sooner.
Honestly if youre unlucky you could potentially have these frames on for more than a year since the surgery date.
There is a high risk of permanent knee pain, but Mediums knee problems doesnt seem to be that bad, so its probably worth the risk. Im already going crazy waiting for the consolidation to be over and i have 2-4 months left, depending on what the x-rays i will take at the end of july shows.
Also if you dont have anybody to help you after your girlfriend left, then it will end up being veeery lonely.
wannabe, ty for the reply
i tend to agree with you... especially considering how long some other bagirov guys have been in frames...
i can totally relae to your crazy feeling... it's really bad, and nothing to do with physical pain... it's the helplessness and loneliness that is a killer
I'm actually going to lengthen a lil over 7 cm... i think id be n tees frames a long time... the knee discomfort seems to be mild for most people... i think the complications i could get wearing the frames another year,especially with no one to help me now, could be worse
I'll write about the situation with my ex very soon... she contributed to a very unhealthy lengthening

Yeah i dont have any pain even and can walk pretty well without aid, need to warm up every now and then though. And my family helps me. Still lonely as hell.
But having frames on for extended periods of time doesnt give you added complications it seems. I have never seen any proof of it. The damage from the frames is already done and over after the surgery. Now its like wearing leg pearcings, it doesnt damage the leg and doesnt restrict the range of motion either.
So the options are waiting a long ass time with no added complications/damage to the legs, or a high risk of knee pain from the nail insertion, and the added risks of 2 more surgeries (if you want to remove the nails eventually).
With that said i still think the nailing option sounds like the best idea in your case.
