Hey guys,
I finally have done my surgery with Dr. Sarin.
Arrived in India on 31st of Dec
visited guest house and met with Dr. sarin on the same day.
Admitted on the hospital next day. Surgery was on 2nd of Jan, came to the guest house yesterday. pain-free only discomfort from the frame.
I'll write further details very soon

Hi guys. my first x-ray after the 10th day of lengthening.

Thank you very much
while I was in the hospital (first 7 days) pain was managed by epidural and injections, so honestly, it was not as painful as I thought it would be, whenever my pain level went up, I asked the nurses for injections. when they discharged my 7th day I was pain-free, I had a couple of days of good sleep in the guest house. then started lengthening.
during the first day of lengthening, I felt the nerve pain ( shooting pain in the feet) after that few days it went smooth. obviously, there is discomfort and a minor bearable pain which wouldn't let you sleep. However, I managed it with painkiller pills.
during the 8th day of lengthening again, the discomfort and pain were little increased. I have been advised this will last for a couple of weeks until my body adjust to the new changes that are being made. again this pain I'm talking about is not dying pain. manageable with painkillers if you need some sleep. so far no nerve pain. overall, I'm doing okay. but the discomfort sucks. only regret I have is that I did not do this surgery years ago because it was cheaper back then with Dr. Sarin. because on the internet they will freak you out saying it is dying pain bla bla. if you lengthen 1mm pain is manageable in the night. if it's too much, go for .75mm a day. as long as you don't have nerve pain in the feet you can manage. but I know this is not the end. there is a long way to go.... it is psychologically challenging as well, so I keep reminding myself why I need this surgery so bad in the first place. feel the pain now enjoy the results later.
my initial height 163cm. I am aiming for 6 or 6.5cm, depending on how I progress and cope.
cost I have paid 17000 usd ( including food , Indian food from kitchen at the guest house). but the usual price is 17500 usd without food.
the reason for the discount was, I have been in touch with them since early 2017 + prior to my travel to India, I have traveled to Kurgan, Russia and Saint Petersburg then I have changed my mind and decided to come to Dr. sarin , so they knew that I have wasted t a few thousand dollars already. so I got a bargain.
It's not a good idea to do 9cm or 10 cm in the one-segment mate, do some researches.
last night my shin burning pain was severe, couldn't sleep. today feeling okay.
I'm also started to feel the tightness in the Achilles tendon on the left leg.
thanks mate
should be around 5cm , next xray -coming Friday
I'm okay. if I do 6cm lengthening in tibia, what is the standing height I will get? Does standing height also increase by 6cm or less?
