I wonder what the intention of that guy that was bashing you was. He probably the same one as before that said it was a fake diary.

[Penguinn]

What sucks more than the troll claiming your diary was fake are the retards that believed it.

Most of these f**king morons are the same ones promoting their "BROSCIENCE" or talking about how patients will be just fine having surgery with confirmed butchers.

These people have the same intellectual capacity as a living room couch...

I don't mean most of the people that commented on there, they were calling him a troll.

You should mean most of them, as most of them were not calling that guy a troll. They were actually posting questions or their mindless musings as though what was being said was even remotely close to making any kind of logical sense.

Anyone who posted questions or their brainless contemplations on that thread can't possibly have an IQ above 70....

[Alu]

The only thing I want to know about that troll was who exactly was he? Sure I don't mean his identity, but his past accounts and relations to the forums.

[onemorefoot]

In fact we werent trying to find a logical sense to his arguments, just asking him in a polite way indirectly to stop banning.

[Bander72]

It look like he was trying to discredit khan in particular  and not parihar. Maybe trying to paint him as a new apotheosis so people leave the forum.

Nobody believed it, surely?

Was kinda hoping for an epic showdown between the two kilos like Obi-wan and Anakin in 'Revenge of the sith'...."you've turned them against me!"  "I'm afraid you've done that yourself" lol😂

What if lluser showed up and saw people praising mongeal and did the vader noooooooo.

I can't recall if I've mentioned this earlier, but one thing to note that's changed from pre-CLL is that my legs fall asleep more easily than they did before, and usually it happens when seated on a toilet or something. When a leg falls asleep it pretty much turns into an anchor and I have to shake it a little bit and remove the tingling sensation before trying to walk again. It feels a bit different from when a leg would fall asleep before CLL in that my legs feel a lot heavier now, which is due to a combo of longer tibias and comparatively weaker quads. Not something that's life changing, but definitely a noticeable difference. I haven't read of others noticing this change after CLL though.

[crimsontide]

I have that tooo...  Legs feel MUCH heavier  when standing up after sitting down for a while, such as a long trip in a car.

[alps]

I wonder if LL reduces the diameter of blood vessels in the legs. That's just my intuition but I couldn't find any research confirming this.

[alps]

did you ask your doctor about your legs falling asleep?

[KiloKAHN]

My local ortho referred me to a foot and ankle specialist and I'm in his office waiting now. Just got measured and weighed. I weigh 164 lbs (74.5kg) and height is 5'7.22" Gonna have to explain to a new doc that I got CLL. That's never fun lol.

Will know if I have CECS shortly.

[onemorefoot]

You are above 170 cm, is cool that you didnt experience subsidence.

[TIBIKE200]

Tell us the reaction/opinion of the doc when you tell him you did CLL

[KiloKAHN]

So he just read the notes that I had CLL. Didn't say anything about it at all, it was just 'matter of fact' for him. He said that leg lengthening would put the legs at risk for CECS because you're expanding the muscle to a size greater than was intended and the compartments have a harder time getting the blood flow through. Closest they could test me is March 13, and that involves sticking a needle in each compartment and measuring the pressure, then having me run on a treadmill until I'm in pain and measuring the pressure again. If I have it, then we schedule surgery to do fasciotomy.

You'll get through this KiloKAHN. A fasciotomy would be an annoyance but if it solves the issue then it needs to be done and then you are on the road to recovery. Best of luck man, you deserve to enjoy your new leg length without all of these complications.

[KiloKAHN]

Well I just got laid off so fasciotomy will be postponed until further notice. Not going to pay out of pocket, that's for sure.

I knew I hated Mondays the most.

[Bander72]

Damn that's rough dude at least you had your surgery paid and recovered so you can go on the job hunt right away.

[frankie]

Hey Kilo if you had to redo your LL experience would you do external only again or would you do LON?

[KiloKAHN]

So I tested for chronic exertional compartment syndrome today. Not exactly a fun experience as they put an injection in all 4 compartments of each leg and then stick a tube connected to a pressure monitor in each compartment afterward. They recorded the resting pressures and then had me run on a treadmill until the pain started. Next they inserted the tube into each compartment again and recorded the after-exercise pressures. Involved getting poked a total of 24 times and my legs are still sore after hours.

Confirmed I have CECS in the anterior compartment of each leg. Pressure shouldn't be higher than a reading of 12 in any compartment after exercising, but the left anterior compartment had a pressure reading of 36 and my right had a reading of 42. If I can get my surgery scheduled for this month, then I'm covered. If not, I have to see how much it would cost to extend my coverage a little longer.

Sorry to hear about that. I'm wondering whether your symptoms of CECS occurs after exercising or does it even occur during inactive days?
You did mention in a previous post that your legs would often "fall asleep", is that the reason why the doctors wanted to check for CECS or do you face any other symptoms of CECS?

[cole slaws]

Would like to know if its mandatory to get surgery for CECS or does it go away non surgically. I hate scars and would like to avoid getting too many.

They referred me to a foot and ankle specialist to test for it because even after going on an exercise regimen for a month I'd still have pain when running or walking on an incline. It's possible that the falling asleep sensation might have something to do with it, but not sure. MDOW had the same issue after CLL and he said fasciotomy got rid of it so I think this will work.

If it's truly CECS then it's unlikely that anything other than fasciotomy will cure it. If you hate scars then unfortunately you're gonna have to stick with internals, because otherwise you'll end up with a whole lot of dots around your legs.

[cole slaws]

Im okay with the external tibia scars since theyre pretty small and can be corrected through scar revision surgery, besides it kind of makes for a cool story. The scar from a fasectomy seems wayyy too big for my comfort zone. Can I ask if the CECS is really bad or can you sort of live with it?

[alps]

best of luck Kilo!

is this a possibility with femur lengthening too?

If you run semi-regularly or even want to do recreational sports or hike, CECS is freaking terrible. It starts off as not a big deal but when it happens all the time without fail you then focus on it a lot. Also, if there were ever any situation where you had to run away from someone, you'd be screwed.

best of luck Kilo!

It mostly happens as acute compartment syndrome after injury. CECS is very rare in the thighs because the compartments are so big compared to the ones in shins.
