Yellowspike - Dr. Guichet, Internal Femurs, Late 2014

Quote from: YellowSpike on March 16, 2015, 03:22:28 PMI feel like my duckass looks worse in person. Hoping I gain a bit of height from correcting it. Even .5-1cm would make me very happy.
Also not a fan how my pelvis being tilted so forward makes me look like I have a belly.



Dude, your duckass doesn't look that bad as you think it does. Same goes with your pelvis. Either way, when do you think you will be able to start working out again and regain your legs and ass?

Have been trying to walk unaided more today. Still look like an inebriated penguin, but it's slightly improving. Gotta start somewhere, right?

Has anyone ever experienced knee bending from doing internal femurs? When I stand up straight, my right knee bends just very slightly. I can of course manually correct this, but then it's a bit tight/slightly painful. I'm wondering if I just need to stretch my quads/hamstrings more.

Thanks for the tip, I just might try that!

By the way, cool signature. If memory serves, Programdude mentioned that quote in his diary as well.

You have a nice ass! It must have been nicer.
Did you gain weight around your torso?
I gained some. (used to have six packs that were more defined)

Walking is kinda painful. Today I have pain in various areas of both of my legs, but nothing too bad. Just gotta truck through it. My walking is terrible, but I've only just begun, so I know it'll get better. I have to force myself to do it because I need to weight-bear to help my legs heal faster.

My only two issues that kinda concern me (just a bit) at the moment are:
1. Right knee bending slightly when I stand up straight with legs closed (though I can manually fix this, and stretching my quads and hamstrings seems to help it a bit). Also have a bit of pain in my right groin area.
2. Bad pain in my lower left leg (calf/shin area) when I bend this leg inwards while keeping my foot still as if to click (I sometimes experience this when I turn in my sleep at night)

Has anyone ever experienced these, and if so, how might I go about correcting them?

Quote from: YellowSpike on March 16, 2015, 12:25:51 AMAs far as the question "has it been worth it?" Like ItsHisLife (waves at Bon Jovi and No Doubt) said...I'm still on crutches, so without being able to live my life with a sense of normalcy (at least, not just yet), it's a bit hard to say. But if I had to answer the question now, in a word, yes...it has been worth it.
...
Today, I saw my best friend for the first time. I think he's a little over 5'8", and I know he's never had an issue with his height or with getting girls (though he's married now). Well, in my Nike Airs, i'm taller than him, and when I took them off (he kept his shoes on), we were the same size almost on the dot. It's not like he towered over me in the past, but I definitely felt shorter than him before LL. He kept saying that I look great and a lot taller. And then I got hit on by two cute girls...got the cuter one's number. If I only I wasn't still semi-crippled...YS needs some lovin! 

Nice to read this and thanks for the answer!! What about your friend, did you tell him about your surgery or did he just notice and thought he had been mistaken about your height all the time ?

Haha nah he knew. He never towered over me in the past, but this time we were eye level when I took of my sneakers, and I think I was a bit taller with my sneakers on. He did say that I was very noticeably taller when he first saw me "walking" to his car when he picked me up.

yeah I still have pretty significant duckass. I need to actively work on it more, but I've admittedly been lazy. I've been trying to walk a little more around my apartment without crutches each day. My walking looks terrible so far  ...gotta keep trying I guess. And yes, I'm in regular contact with Dr. Guichet.
