Looking good Helloworld,
I'm guessing that your new bone is still consolidating, I've read that it takes 1-2 years before the new bone is 100% formed. Your body is probably also getting used to the changes.
Thanks for keeping us updated. Would be great if you gave us small updates once in a while like this! We rarely hear from people after nails and rods are removed.
Could you try to explain how it feels better than before?
Do you feel less tired in legs, more balance or something similar?
Good luck and keep up!
You are welcome!
I have not been able to get a definitive answer on why I am not able to run as fast as before and why, as Datum says, my running looks weired. This have been suggestions:
1. muscle needs to regrow 100%, currently it might still be streched
2. I have not been walkign and running that much as I did before surgery, so I just need practise
3. implants has a weight, pulling down my legs
4. the bone normally "bounces" a little bit, I heared, but it cannot if it has implants
5. biomechnics are different, and I have to get used to it
6. my ass muscles are not as strong as before surgery
Personally, I think it is a combination but I am hoping that it is mainly the fact that I still have implants and that the muscle is still stretched but will gradually adjust to new lenght.
How does it feel different?
I would describe it as being a more conscious effort as compared to before, when I would just run without thinking about lifting my legs.
That said there has been a gradual improment, just not as fast as I would have hoped.
