Good luck on your journey and thanks for the diary.

Did Dr. Giotikas say anything about the bearing capacity of the nail, so do you have to use a walker?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #32 on:** August 05, 2022, 02:20:36 PM »

Should be able to hold my entire weight. Yes, I need to use a walker because they say it's safer

I thought you use crutches with G-nail and not a walker?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #34 on:** August 06, 2022, 12:56:15 PM »

I'm on a walker now and I have crutches but they don't let me use it at this stage

thankscience · « **Reply #35 on:** August 06, 2022, 02:52:52 PM »

Did they say how many weeks you will need the walker?

What's wrong with the forum, I've been on the home page a few times and haven't been able to get on it. I've had muscle tightness in the last few days and I'm trying to get over it.

Now I feel like my muscles are tight and I'm having a little difficulty walking at first. This may be because I don't stretch regularly. Starting today, I will be doing regular stretches three times a day.

Hi I hope you are doing well. Are you alone in Athens?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #39 on:** August 14, 2022, 02:28:44 PM »

Yes, I live alone in a hotel in Athens

oh... how do you get to PT place everyday by yourself?or some nurse comes to assist everyday? sounds so scary to stay by self, what if something happens

Destiny666 · « **Reply #41 on:** August 16, 2022, 07:01:21 PM »

In the early stage, a nurse came to help. After I got used to it, I went alone.

So after a while, the pain is not that series?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #43 on:** August 20, 2022, 05:50:52 AM »

I had an x-ray yesterday and both my left and right legs were extended by 3.4 cm

Are you comfortable sharing pics with us?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #45 on:** September 02, 2022, 06:21:32 PM »

I had an x-ray today and will have a meeting with the doctor tomorrow. Feeling a little excited to know how many centimeters I've lengthened!

Destiny666 · « **Reply #46 on:** September 03, 2022, 06:23:41 PM »

After talking to the doctor today I learned that my left leg was 46mm longer and my right leg was 45mm longer. so happy. But then I will further reduce the number of clicks per day to seven per day.

thankscience · « **Reply #47 on:** September 03, 2022, 10:51:25 PM »

Why are you reducing the number of clicks?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #48 on:** September 04, 2022, 04:29:46 PM »

It seems that the bone healing is a little slow.

Destiny666 · « **Reply #49 on:** October 22, 2022, 11:59:45 AM »

I had a phone call with the doctor yesterday, my extension finally reached my expectations, both my left and right legs are 5.5 cm, and I will continue to do some treatment as my bones are healing a little bit slowly.

Oh damn I didn't know that seven clicks per day happens sometimes

I'm down to 10 clicks per day

15 clicks per day -> 10 clicks per day was a huuuge improvement in quality of life for me, made me so happy when he said that

I'm secretly hoping that Dr. Giotikas also lets me do 8 or 7 clicks per day someday but I don't know about how low I can go before premature consolidation becomes a danger (but my bone growth is slow so far)
