I basically asked a question to a LL veteren who had the surgery in 2007 about if his legs we're back to 100% or not and if he felt like his legs felt like they were older than the rest of his body.
My question:
Well, you did the LL surgery in 2007 and its 2020 now, so after those long 13 years do you feel like your legs are in good health for your current age or do you have the feeling that your legs are like 10+ years older then the rest of your body?
The answer I got from member 'Medium Drink Of Water':
No, I don't feel like they're as healthy as the rest of my body:
They're stiff and I feel like I've reached maximum flexibility with them.
They get tired easier than I think they should/would without LL.
The skin looks a little bit splotchy and veiny, especially over the tibialis anterior muscles, and is injured more easily and takes longer to heal. I bumped my shin two years ago (spring 2018) and broke the skin, and I can still see the mark. If that had been on my arm, no way would it show right now.
My conclusion:
You'll legs will never be 100% after the surgery and they will feel older than the rest of your body. If you still think about having the LL surgery I wish you all the luck in the world and hopefully you'll make a quick and healthy recovery!
