Hi Takura, when was your surgery?

Hi Takura, when was your surgery?

It was on Friday Febuary 1

He basically lengthened and then reshortened my tibia bone on the left leg and this was done as part of his ‘how to lengthen’

[takura]

I’m getting discharged tomorrow. Normally I’d had been able to take care of myself but this adds problems as my left leg spazes in pain randomly so I can’t even walk anymore

While 12 hours ago I was walking so well I didn’t even need the walker.

[takura]

Someone please help

I was doing so well and now I really fear. I’m gonna be taking care of myself tomorrow after discharge and I can’t even use the walker anymore cuz of intense muscle spasm pains

I am surprised that he did a reverse so early.  Do you have a wheelchair to use for a few days while the inflammation goes down?

Friday January 1 ?  of 2016 ?   february 1 is most likely

about distracted and reshortened, if was just 0.25mm is not a problem or risky

first 2-3 weeks everything you do on your legs would be painful is to be expected because of surgical trauma, but if you have doubts or issues ask you doctor

are you using stryde right?

I learned later it was0.5mm

And it’s ecternal monorails

No stryde doc would allow this to happen

That is a high amount for one turn.

The first month will be very scary, you'll experience so many strange pains, halted progress, ups and downs, I was the same, thought my leg was going to fall off from something different every day. Infections, wrong turning, ballerina.

Just trust your doctor, even if he says very little, and manage the pain with the right painkillers. It is more a mental battle than physical. Almost every time you turn will be like having to re-learn to walk. I remember 1 week in I was walking around everywhere, 4 weeks in I was bedridden and couldn't walk 2 meters.

Just relax, manage the pain, trust your doctor. And train train train.

Hey guys

Today I had bleeding from the same leg

I also get huge muscle spasms from it randomly since yesterday's distraction and reversal.

[cheekycabs]

Are the spasms painful? Use Lyrica if you have it. Or, a shot of diclophenac if it doesn't stop the pain.

Bleeding is normal, especially if walking, or doing PT. Get a hold of the pain, rest, then continue after a day.

[cheekycabs]

Also, Neurofen will stop the spasms for about 6-8 hours. But, your doctor may not allow you to use NSAIDS.. Diclophenac is a nsaid too

Unfortunately after the distraction and shortening of the left leg fk up - which I strongly believe is what caused me the problems in the first place of the left leg spasming and bleeding since the time it was done

They are now saying Im going to be charged for the dressing changing 75 per although the doctor told me during consult 'My assistant will see you twice every week and do the changing' without mentioning any cost so its assumed by default that its included in the cost

Now I got a problem and he's telling me they will charge me 75Turkish lira each dressing they change

After charging me 200TL for the hospital discharge transportation (which is when I started to feel something was fishy).

Unfortunately now Im have lost all trust for being under their care and feel regret if I continue trusting them so to avoid that

I think Im gonna tell my parents the truth that I did this surgery with their money and go back to their care, the people who love me. In Turkey i feel every single inch they can squeeze they are doing so after the surgery when the patient is crippled. They even gave me my prescriptions after surgery telling me to have someone get them for me .. like boy im disabled in a foreign country. The fk you expect?.

Will give more details on the whole thing later.

Please pray for me!

Are you in Istanbul right now? My girlfriend speaks turkish, I can have a talk with them about the prices and  . I will be honest with you, I'm in Azerbaijan which is a sister country to Turkey, it's very similar here. They will try and make money off of you every turn, it's something to expect in this part of the world.

Don't get so upset about it. It isn't Canada, they run crap differently. You are a bag of money to them, but you still have the opportunity to hold them to their word, especially if you yell at them. I will try and help you as much as I can

[cheekycabs]

Also, I really hope you have it written somewhere in a conversation on what was agreed to when you took the surgery. Like, dressing changing is included, or whatever.

Would it have been worse in India?
