Things are going okay, it could be going better. Really painful in my pin points specifically on my right knee, I've started another cycle of antibiotics to try and see if it helps. Currently limited to 2 turns a day and walking every second day. I'll go for an x-ray in another week and see if there's any issues.
most likely pre consolidation
I’m hoping it isn’t. I’ll have an X-ray next week. I am still able to do 2 turns a day, so I’ll keep doing so until things get worse. I’d do more but the pain is really killing my left leg.
New X rays, a bit disappointed as I've had only a little progress in the past 3 weeks.
u have good callus formation
Dude I would be worried about preconsolidation especially because you have also not had great communication with your doctor. Is there really no way you get care from another doctor inside or outside your country?
I think I'm going to stick with him, not much new stuff has been said, but he has recommended that I can speed it up to 3 turns a day, and that progress is slow, but going okay with no preconsolidation.
As far as pain, I am doing much better now, I'm not sure what's changed but pin point pain in my right leg has really dropped and I'm getting back to very good form for both. I am going to attempt to try walking without pain killers as soon as possible.
Sanity thanks for the heads up, I don't know too much about the callous formation, so I'll just take your word.

Well, I am originally from Baku, Azerbaijan. And I have lots of connections there. There is surely some good facilities that can help you. If I might be helpful in any way, please let me know.

Compare it to Rocky's, whose callus formation seemed poor at the time of his x-rays:

Guys, I'm really having trouble staying motivated to even get out of this bed. More and more frequently I'm doing full days where I'm doing limited physiotherapy and zero walking, only just lengthening, vitamins and eating and stuck on my laptop.
How do you do it and stay motivated? Maybe it's because I'm in some weird country for the holidays, but I need to do something to get out of this funk. The weather has turned a bit and it's not fantastic out, I know I need to move and exercise but the motivation isn't there. I'm about 75% done my lengthening, but I just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
