Hello

Can you give a little more info on pain killer use in terms of your medical opinion

What I mainly want to know in addition is

1) Any particular benefits of general anaesthesia over spinal? quicker to start exercising so you can maintain your muscle and mobility ?

2) Can we bear pain and avoid painkillers - heavy liver metabolism almost always ages the body and the face - which are extremely bad

3) Would you have done externals only over LON - now.

Thanks Adwards,

Excellent work Adward.
using crutches will help you get your flexibility really fast. also try to walk bare shoes this will help and when you put ur shoes again life will be easier.

Hope you'll do well

Until now, do you have any regret ?

Im a curious about it, I am 17 and would like to know the opnion of people who have done that surgery. I just got started researching it a few days ago.

No, not at all. But please keep in mind that I am a doctor myself and onto that, I had a wonderful surgeon and physio in Harry by my side. So the journey went pretty much smooth. If your attitude is correct then LL is very much doable.

How much Dr Sharma charging now for everything ?

The charges were updated at the beginning of this year to USD 15k. If you have some private inquiry then you can contact Harry himself. You can email him at heryshgr@gmail.com or WhatsApp at 9560867721.

General anesthesia - Actually few patients report backache post spinal which is not medically evident but still why risk it?
But with spinal theoretically you avoid much of the surgical stress to your body as compared to GA. Also spinal provides pain relief for a longer duration of time (for almost 48 hours post surgery or even more if needed) which is not the same as with GA.

A young and healthy liver is perfectly capable of tackling such stressful situations, so you need not worry about it. A good doctor would neither let his/her patients overdose on painkillers nor would he/she let his patients suffer because of pain. Every big hospital has a special clinic dedicated to just pain management. But believe me, you need to be ready for painful 48 hours post surgery if going for GA. But then again listening to stories of so many patients reporting such post-procedural pain in case of spinal, I became a bit skeptical and therefore went on with GA. Again I would reiterate here that no such medical evidence is present which points to the spinal procedure being the reason for such backaches. You can go even farther than this and call it a medical myth, a myth which I gave into and therefore chose GA over Spinal.

If you go for GA, you can choose fentanyl infusion for the first few hours and then use Buprenorphine patch along with Dynapar or PCM infusion. You can go through my diary for more.

Yes, I would still go with LON. When I made this choice I thought thoroughly and didn't choose it just randomly. So no I would not opt for pure Ilizarov's (i.e externals only) or those so-called hybrids even today.

I hope my answer would be helpful.

So Adios has had his surgery 2 days back. He is in recovery. Once ready he will be starting with his diary on this forum. A very warm welcome to Adios in advance from all of the LL community.

I just got the good news. I might soon start walking unaided. Next step will be the balance, stairs, un-leveled roads etc.
As of now while walking using an elbow crutch, my heels do touch the ground. Will soon post my new X-rays.

My ballerina is almost gone and I am becoming more and more confident while walking with each passing day. I have added more exercises to my everyday routine so as to have even stronger muscles. Bygone are the days of a comfortable bed (all for good). Hope everyone else is also doing great.

Congratulations--it looks like you made much progress with consolidation since January.

It must feel good to be up and walking--I envy you and look forward to that day.

Actually, I had this very same feeling before starting my journey. And yes, at times it was a bit scary and painful yet I knew that it was all for my greater good. It was then that I realized how much important these diaries are for LL newbies, as it's not just a source (semi-source) of information but also a source of support and encouragement. Here we call all speak about our insecurities openly. This is the place where we all understand each other and are not worried about being judged for our choices.
It is a place where we all can find solace. This forum gives us hope and confidence. And ultimately, it makes us brave thinking that we are all into this together for better or for worse.
Moral of the story is- If I am doomed so are they...in this case you all.....hahahaha

And yes buddy you too will have a chance to gloat, flaunt or whatever and you too will have some friends who will envy you (in a good sense obviously)...hahahaha...just like me.

Thanks a lot for your wishes and for such a cheerful message. And yes, we will all be with you in this life-transforming journey of yours

I can walk for much longer distances now but am still cautious. Muscle rigidity is still there but much lesser than before. Muscle rigidity is more pronounced specially when trying to stand after a period of rest, though it goes away quite quickly.

Hi Adward
Need your help here, want to ask how did you work with your pain threshold and level of discomfort. I am feeling very low. I can really use your help here.

Hi Akito. I am thinking of surgery in India. Are you staying at a hotel? I am the same Japanese as you. I am concerned about India's environment and hygiene. How is the environment in India? Can you discuss in Japanese if you like?
