Quote from: YellowSpike on February 23, 2015, 06:01:53 AMCan't sleep. Knee pain, back pain, ITB pain, hip pain, muscles tight all over...I just hate LL so much. I wish it didn't exist or that I never found out about it. Or that height didn't fking matter so God damned much. Or that waking up to take a piss in the middle of the night didn't involve crutches and having to be so careful. I feel incompetent and so unattractive right now (I hate not having an ass big time).
I just don't see how all of my problems will ever go away or how I'll ever walk normally again. It just seems...impossible. I hate my life right now.
Man, I really suck today.
Why you have fluctuated emotion?Hope you doing well asap

I pee-ed in Ziploc bags so I didn't have to walk with walkers with excruciating pain (due to the stiffness of the joints, that developed at night) (it is very tiring at night, and by the time you are done u're awake). Hope that was helpful. In Russian clinic they used pee bottles. But there would be a pee smell so I used ziplock bags.

Its good you noticed this.
Yellowspike, did you get off any medication (esp narcotics, and muscle relaxants?). Cos' It might be withdrawals and rebound pain. You are done lengthening so it should be better and less pain, sleep should have improved too. UNLESS you are having withdrawals and rebound pain.
its because you remember how your body used to be. and you remember how strong and powerfull it was.
all of u sudden you appreciate how awesome you were. and then you freak out, the fear creeps in. after you appreciate how great you were before you start to seriously contemplate what it is that you have done to yourself, then you start to worry about if it is or is not permanent.
worrying about weather pain/possible damage is or is not permanent changes after you seriously appreciate how great you were before. it changes your outlook.
this happened to me on a microcosm. I cant even imagine what yellow spike is going through. also its possible that he did not experience the same thing I experienced. I wonder if he will resonate and agree with what I have said. or if he will state it is a different feeling that he experienced.
don't worry yellow spike, your pain will go, don't let those fears creep up, it will take time, surround yourself with people who are positive, who believe In you, and who believe in your recovery. it will strengthen your resolve. always understand that your going to heal. you only did close to 6.5cm and with a good surgeon. you will be fine. always tell yourself this.

Yea this is exactly it. Combined with being annoyed that I had to stop at only 6.75cm. I wanted a little more, but my body was really fighting me. Nerve pain, numbness, extreme tightness...Dr. G said I could go to 7cm, but I was having too many issues to keep going. Guess I'll get the rest of it from ItsMyLifes methods (yoga and gluco).
I have a very, very hard time believing that I'll recover. I have so many issues...it just seems impossible. Until I recover (meaning I can do everything I used to do at least 80-90% as before), I think I'm gonna be feeling horrible and regret doing LL.

Then get started on your recovery as fast as possible, and don't quit until you've made it.
What is a LL patient supposed to do to recover anyway, just keep stretching?

And walking. Yep, it just sorta happens gradually.

I know, and that's exactly what I've been doing. Stretching, biking, and walking on crutches/weightbearing as much as I can to stimulate bone growth. I'm getting new x-rays taken this week, so I guess we'll see how I'm doing.
I'm mostly happy with 6.75cm. It's a VERY noticeable gain for me, and I think since it corrected my bowlegs, I may have gotten like another .5cm of visual height (people on here say you minus a bit of what you lengthen for femurs due to the angle of them, yet my femurs look almost perfectly straight, so I don't know). And it was in line with my original range. I just know that I'm never doing this again, and I wanted no regrets. I think I won't have any regrets once I've recovered. I think it's wise not to risk permanent issues for another .5-1cm, when that's not really noticeable anyway.
