i don't want to be rude but i think you still do not realize that you are in a very critical condition , i m serious .
Stop trusting your doctor and take charge of yourself , consult other doctors , take every action necessary to get back to normal again .
Be Strong ..!!

Hey Diso, unfortunately, I think he is kinda right((( you should consult with other doctors just in case.

Can't wait to be home. Escape from India and LIVE TO DIE ANOTHER DAY!

Escape is an understatement. I hope you decide to disseminate your journey in the future, BullSurfer. People read of the horrors performed here, but desperation is the greatest poison of the mind. People will still deceive themselves, but the more stories available, the greater the chance of saving a hapless soul.

Morning ,,

I did consult other doctors..

here is one of the replays that I received


[[


1. conversion to internal fixator with or without bone graft ? (There are lots of devices used with minimal incision.)


2. You could also try soft tissue release for adjacent joint contracture


3. Try low-wave ultrasonographic stimulation


 ]]

Edit Post

for point 2, I think it's better to wait till I remove the fixator, since this could solve the problem, other wise, I'll do this surgery in home my insurance cover it..

for point 3, I read that these kind of treatment is useless , anyone has experience positive outcome with this treatment?

Disobedient,

Quadrilateral lengthening with monorails in India....

The last two hours of reading your 6~ month saga has been an emotional roller coaster for me - disbelief, fear, concern, anger. Had I been following your story live I would've became a religious man and prayed for you (likely to some pagan god of masochism).

I am grateful that your shaman finally advised against going beyond 10-11 cm. Your new height is something to be eternally proud of. Not only are you now the global average female stature (and have longer, (someday) sexier legs than others that height) but it's also a symbol of your triumph. Your spirit was tested and you passed. You braved Hell and beyond to achieve something others are born with and take for granted. I'm so proud of you (for what it's worth from a shadowy stranger).

Wishing you a great recovery. Take the path slow. Vaya con Dios.

-Andy

Hi all

18th - March,  3 days left   


Sweatpants

humm no he didn't seriously Indian PT know NO THING, so I stooped my sessions few months ago.. and right now I'm doing simple stretching exercises, not aggressive one since I really want to avoid any thing could cuz the pain in my pin site, and I do stretching exercise like the one you posted in pic ( sometime with the same pose in pic I tried to lift my leg and hold it for 1 min, I feel  in this way it stretching much more muscles , try it and you'll feel different< Also,  since you still in distraction phase if you felt much pain your tibia let someone to lift/rise your legs for you'll feel much better off course in this case you wont stretch any muscle but believe me you'll feel the pain goes down immediately  >  ) 

about the splints  I got mine like after month from starting lengthening and I wear it like 2-3 h per day not more some time I don't wear it at all, yours looks much better than mine ..
this is mine



Can your splint keep your feet goes beyond 90deg?

Hi Disk,

I tried also splints like those, they do nothing, they can not hold your feet properly. I recommend splints like mine, they can go more than 90 degrees, not a lot, but can. although splints are used to prevent ballerina foot, I think they won't work when you already have one, they don't stretch you they only keep your ankle up.

Andy

thanks for your very kind words, ..
Great to see some people appreciate my insanity 

Sweatpans

oh I messed up my sleeping routine , I suppose to be sleeping by now, but I was watching this new series nurse Jakie, kindda like it

so no thing important happened  today, except  I tried to stand,, I put half maybe quarter of my weight into my legs ..
my heels was touching the floor so I'm not sure if I have severe ballerina foot, or maybe because my back wasn't straight..
I felt like  the blood   flow  to my feet for the first time, and my feet gonna explode in any min just like a scene from happy trees.. so I stand for half mi the rest for 3min I repeated that for an hour, I didn't feel much pain as I was expected but it was kind of itchy .. and I was so tired ... funny how simple thing like standing for 30 sec make you so tired ...
I think I need to exercise more just to make sure I have good  blood circulation in  my legs ....


Goodnight all
it's  4Am here 

Edit Post

so I've  received replays from the doctors that I contacted regarding my medical situation..
so I'll share some of these replies

• Firstly: Dr. Guichet
  

QuoteHello,

You are still soon after the surgery and you need to wait longer before coming to see me. Motion comes far longer after removal of the frame, so do niot expect getting back to normal fast.

Documents yourself completely. I can see you when the frame will be off. Rushing would increase risks even more.

Yours sincerely,

Jean-Marc Guichet, MD, PhD, Doct. Sci.

• Prof. Mitkovic 

QuoteMy dear,

try to resolve everything with your dr. He will help to correct misalignment. It is no big problem but you need also so much physiotherapy.

• Dr A-nake

QuoteDear Bade,



Greetings from Vejthani Hospital!




Thank you for waiting. Your case was evaluated by our specialist, Dr. Porn A-nake Tardthong and these are the recommendation.

       

              " First you have to know that the 11.2 cm increase needs one year for total treatment. About distraction period, the doctor did his job well. This period, the consolidation period, the patient must do her part. Physiotherapy to increase range of motion at all affected joints and strengthening exercises for the whole muscle of your legs.

                Before the operation, the doctor must inform all of the problems which may occur to the patient and how to solve it.

                 The best for you now is doing the physiotherapy, both passive and active. The passive physiotherapy should be done with the aid of physiotherapist to increase the range of motion to your knees, ankle and feet. The active physiotherapy must be performed by the patient independently. The patient should try to bend her knees and ankles to overcome pain. Avoid putting your weight on both legs.

                Observe the progression of your muscle strength and range of motion of your joints. They will improve but quite slow.

               Going to study is not an excuse, your doctor knows the reason but it will still depend on how your bone adapt to change, or how your body respond to the current changes in your bone. By June, Xray finding may show that it is not the right time to walk, possibly you will be ready to walk by August 2014.

               I wish you can pass your problems so soon. Be patient.

                                             --Dr. Porn A-nake Tardthong--- "

So, in general it seems that I just have to wait and do a lot of pt...
there is hospital in Dubai called "American Hospital Dubai" they're preforming LL and so on, so I may go there if I'll back home..
I'm thinking of going back home after a month or so, I know that my medical insurance cover all expense of PT, or any further surgery I may demand in order be back normal, but returning home paralyzed make me feel like a loser ..  I'll wait a month and see what will happen ..
