Medium, ugh, I feel comforted though that you went through this though, since you seem to be ok. .. What causes pinsite tear? Seems to be only 1 site. .. You just had to take the pain? Looks ok now?
Just a little bit scary to me ... ty guys
Do you mean like you regret doing it with this Dr?
I'll explain. I had accident and fell hard on Right leg from wheelchair. ... i contacted Dr just to be sure the pin Was ok. .. I dont want to turn screw 3 months and only have left leg lengthen. ... it's been 3 DAYS and Dr fahri made 2 appointments to have a video call on skype and both times never showed. .. Im pretty sure I'll be ok in the end but this is out of control. .. literally impossible to talk to either bagirov or fahri. . Also had a non surgical issue that I won't Mention here. .. The aftercare is non existent... I have what is either an infection in pin site or perhaps the pin hole is just expanding, it hurt like hell.... wanted to talk to a Dr to get these issues sorted out and nothing. ... Thank god I Have a gf that helps me now or I'd be screwed. .

They passed out tramadol when they felt like it, but yeah for the most part I just had to live with the pain. The pins will tear the skin if it's not stretching fast enough to go along with your lengthening. I had one really bad one too, but eventually the others tore a bit too.
I had scar revision surgery so of course everything looks fine now. But that's going to be a bigger scar if it's tearing the skin.
Hi, I was actually thinking about going to dr Bagirov, would you recommend him.?
Michael, if you want to go with Dr Bagirov, do the following things first.
- Arrange your own accommodation and caretaker in Moscow because you can only stay 1-2 weeks at the clinic. They have 4 rooms only and they encourage patients to leave early.
- Get confirmation from the clinic that you will have follow up consultation with either Dr Bargiov or Dr Fahri every 1-2 weeks after surgery with xrays. The Drs can be hard to reach after the surgery.
My right leg is fine... as an update..on the night i left clinic, going into my apt after plane ride, the driver left me for a second without locking wheels, and i rolled down ramp and fell out of the chair on my right leg.... but right leg is ok now,and left one is bad...
my left leg is fine too, except for one spot where a bolt is on the upper ring, the outside of the ring..... it is really annoying me throught the day, 24 hours a day, since tuesday... the bone there is very sore,no infection present.... but when i get up to go to bathroom, or sit down, its hard to bend, as that spot is so sore and tight, like the bone will be ripped apart.... not sure if this is normal.... i tell the dr, his reply is that all is ok, could be worse, i should ignore it
he hasnt even seen it or an x ray, and he says this.... not making me happy.... if someone has a slight headache, it could be a lot worse for this person, but at the same time, a headache is an issue and can be helped....
i can not continue to lengthen if this issue at one site on my left leg os not resolved...... its occupying my time 24 hours a day,, it is that irritating
if the dr doesnt try to help more,ill be forced to go see another dr or stop lengthening this week... i can not live a few months with this pain... and there is no sign its going away anytime soon
I would say at this point... I cant recommend going to dr bagirov, and it is not even about his skills as a surgeon.... a patient doing this surgery needs to be under supervision during lengthening, at least in my opinion.... at least for first month.....
trying to communicate by email to a person that does not speak your language is not the way to go if you're getting this surgery... id love to be able to ring a nurse,get some pain meds or an x ray, maybe my issue would have been fixed already... but i cant, as im 1000 miles away currently.. which sucks
I remember feeling like my knees were going to burst sometimes, so I can relate to your feeling that you leg will be ripped apart. It never seemed to burst/rip though. As bad as the pain is, your doc is probably right about this being something that is normal during LL.
medium, your replies are the main reason i continue..... i feel very alone, as im in a foreign nation with my gf, but other than that, im alone in my bed most of the day, and the dr is far away... im probably fine, but i tend to think the worst, as i cant get it checked very easily... your knees felt like they would burst when you tried to sit down??? the main problem is this toilet here, its very low, so i have to really sit down low!!! but also when i sleep, its irritating... you experienced similar things??
