I'm still a little numb near osteo site..Is that normal?

Full normal.

You can be numb up until 2 years or even the rest of your life.

Medium Drink Of Water · « **Reply #94 on:** May 04, 2014, 09:53:11 PM »

Yep, I've got some numbness there too. Actually, I think the osteotomy site is the worst off of any part of my legs right now. The skin there is almost paper-thin, making healing difficult.

ty guys.... im just gonna assume ill always be numb there

How big is your Osteotomy site? Apparently the size of the cut / trauma and the location (proximity to major nerves which Innervates the cutaneous nerves) are important and do have an effect on whether you will recover or not.

Is it the same as the infamous C-cut?

crimsontide · « **Reply #97 on:** May 05, 2014, 03:31:52 PM »

i dont really care much if it stays numb a little to be honest.... its not a c cut... i just like to assume the worst scenario possible so i dont get disappointed

Hi Crimson, this is my very first post (lurking for few months

.
I am 170 cm, 63 kg, 43 years old, I would like to lengthen 8cm.
I plan to lengthen with Dr Bagirov late in the year.
I would like to know if you think you could drive a car (automatic) at the moment (5 weeks after surgery) ?.
I guess you are able to get around on crutches at this point?.
Thanks Bro - keep it up, it will be worth it - no doubt

.

crimsontide · « **Reply #99 on:** May 08, 2014, 02:30:31 PM »

I think I could drive if I wanted.

crimsontide · « **Reply #100 on:** May 19, 2014, 11:24:22 PM »

if i had a broken pin, would I definitely notice it???

Medium Drink Of Water · « **Reply #101 on:** May 20, 2014, 05:40:41 AM »

Not necessarily. If a pin breaks and doesn't have any room to move around you might not notice it.

Good thing that pin breakage is very unlikely.

Didn't RGKEY manage to break his, though?

not to be rude towards rgkey, but I think he managed to do it because of doing 9 cm

It was because he walked alot. He told me that he walked 5-8 hours everyday on Doctor advice. They do that alot in Russia.

crimsontide · « **Reply #105 on:** May 20, 2014, 04:25:24 PM »

ty medium, I'm pretty sure I'm fine, just wanted to be sure.. my left leg feels weird, and my feet are abnormally dry and peeling, but honestly, its been pretty easy last few weeks

ItsMyLife · « **Reply #106 on:** May 21, 2014, 06:42:48 AM »

Does Dr Bagirov always go out of Moscow? i intend to lengthen with him and stay at a low-budget hotel in Moscow instead of hospital.. so the cost is marginally higher than 6500 Euros. If he always goes away from Moscow, I will be unable to get him at his clinic...

ItsMyLife · « **Reply #107 on:** May 21, 2014, 06:44:13 AM »

Crimsontide, get well soon! I'm currently 1.73 and wish to lengthen to 1.78-1.80, depending on what my body tells me.

We are in a similar situation, you are 1.74, right?

Anyway, was there substantial pain? I heard this guy was screaming the entire night after surgery at Dr barinov (Volgograd).

But you said that they gave epidural anesthesia even after operation, so minimal/moderate pain only for the first week?

crimsontide · « **Reply #108 on:** May 21, 2014, 04:55:12 PM »

hey old forum ,

im ok, im not sure how tall i am, maybe 174, i think I've done over 4 cm, will be 5 soon.. i was definitely not screaming the night after, i was sedated and not in pain the first few days... dr bagirov is not at the clinic much tbh, you would be dealing with nurses and dr fahri twice a week

ItsMyLife · « **Reply #109 on:** May 21, 2014, 09:00:41 PM »

Dear crimson, thanks for the reply. that was most reassuring. I can withstand pain but, if its 10/10 its pretty hard to stay on it for weeks u know Haha.

Anyway, does dr fahri know his stuff? So, If i stay in moscow for the lengthening, i can possibly see the dr every week?

PrettyTall · « **Reply #110 on:** May 28, 2014, 09:43:14 AM »

How are you doing ? hope fin are you going to be over 175? when you finish ? can you walk ?

crimsontide · « **Reply #111 on:** May 30, 2014, 02:23:18 AM »

im ok... i just noticed.. in the last 2 days, i deem to have bent my nail slightly on the right leg, not broke, but bent outside rod... is this a major problem... when i turn the nut now, is it still lengthening or can it stop lengthening by virtue of being slightly bent?

Medium Drink Of Water · « **Reply #112 on:** May 30, 2014, 03:50:46 AM »

I think that as long as the nut will turn, it's still lengthening. But it might be lengthening unevenly so you should definitely get it checked out regardless.

Taller · « **Reply #113 on:** May 30, 2014, 04:02:19 AM »

I agree with MDOW. Get it checked out ASAP. The health and alignment of your legs is not something worth taking chances with. If you end up with a single misaligned leg or a considerable length discrepancy, you'll be very sorry, somewhat crippled, unaesthetic, and possibly in pain for life unless you do expensive and extensive corrections. Don't take that chance. I wish you the very best of luck.

crimsontide · « **Reply #114 on:** May 30, 2014, 04:57:45 AM »

ty.... i sent photos to dr, i dont have a length discrepancy now, and tend to worry excessively, but i think better safe than sorry... ill let everyone know what the dr says... ty

crimsontide · « **Reply #115 on:** May 30, 2014, 04:58:40 AM »

here is a photo of it, i guess it looks somewhat normal

Medium Drink Of Water · « **Reply #116 on:** May 30, 2014, 05:05:50 AM »

Yeah, it doesn't look all that bad. You're probably fine.

crimsontide · « **Reply #117 on:** May 30, 2014, 05:06:32 AM »

ty medium... i sentphotos to dr just to be sure

crimsontide · « **Reply #118 on:** June 04, 2014, 03:13:29 AM »

seems like all is ok, just lengthening now... i have a question though regarding ballerine foot... i can put my left foot on the ground easily when sitting, and i can put my left heel down when standing, but seems like i have to strain a bit to try to stand up fully straight, i can't really do that now

im guessing i dont have ballerina foot?? i think people with ballerina foot can't put their heel down no matter what, but just wanted to be sure

Medium Drink Of Water · « **Reply #119 on:** June 04, 2014, 03:24:55 AM »

It's all a matter of degree. You probably have a mild case of ballerina foot.

crimsontide · « **Reply #120 on:** June 04, 2014, 04:39:43 AM »

so even though my left heel touches the ground, i can still have mild ballerina foot???ughh, not happy about this, im still not sure i have it, but if i do, i hope it goes away soon....just to be sure, would like to get a few opinions on this.. i thought guys with ballerina could not put heel down, mine always goes down.....

Medium Drink Of Water · « **Reply #121 on:** June 04, 2014, 05:48:03 AM »

It's not a big deal; I had mild ballerina foot too. It goes away when you finish LL and start walking, which stretches out the tendons. Right now any stretches you do are mostly being negated by the lengthening.

crimsontide · « **Reply #122 on:** June 08, 2014, 11:05:12 PM »

i think i might have slight ballerina in left foot... honestly , got me depressed a bit... im hoping it will be ok after i stop lengthening, i dont wanna have this issue forever

PrettyTall · « **Reply #123 on:** June 08, 2014, 11:32:34 PM »

Can we got a full leg picture please ?
