well...
ant... hope u recover more
i made a bad decision, and now will need left leg realigned
im not in any pain though... just the outside of my left foot isa bit numb currently, but no pain or loss of function
just pissed i need left leg aligned
what surgeries do you need?
I need left femur rotating slightly and that would fix my left tibia misalignment a bit better. Some knee damage, not too sure what. I need Achilles' tendon lengthening again. I can get flat feet to walk but I feel my legs wanting to get into ballerina position again.
I still have 2 broken pins sitting in my bone that need removing.
I need something so I can bend my knees more aswell. I have lost about 30% knee motion.
Ant, was LL worth it for you, despite everything it's made you endure?
ant,,..
i read a few of your posts
people need to read this... some ballerina issues are permant unless you get surgery... people need to realize this... i had surgery, seems to have fixed it, but ant is correct
ant, you need more lengthening??
and did you lenthen both femurs and tibias?
For me it's been worthwhile confidence wise . I love the extra height but the financial cost, time, life long problems etc all seem to effect my close loved ones aswell. I seem very selfish for doing this. Life would have been a million times easier for me if I didn't do leg lengthening. My children would never be bothered if I was short All they want is a daddy they can play with. I married my wife at 5ft 5inches talk and was together about 5 years before I did leg lengthening. I never needed leg lengthening. It was just a added bonus. I had everything , family, house , money etc. leg lengthening was just a added bonus. The only mistake I made was going to India. If I went to serbia in the first place, I would have recovered very well and be taller and would have spent a lot less money and time on doing this
I lengthened both Tibias and femurs. Tibias were lengthened about 2 cm more and then gained on my Tibias through re aligning them aswell so Tibias could well be 4 cm too long than my femurs and you can tell the difference I think you need to keep original individual tibia to femur ratio for athletic performance. I think if I lengthened my femurs some more then that would help a little yes for balance and running.
Achilles' tendon was lengthened approximately 7 cm via a plasty and I think I need about 4 cm more.
ant,
can you not put your heels on the floor?
Yes my heels are flat no problem. The problem is when the calf muscle is tired and starts to become tight I want to start standing on my top toes like a ballerina. My ankles do not bend backwards so walking uphill is a knightmare. Stairs are a problem as each ankles bends a different amount
Ankles will go to 90 degrees maximum. No more even if I jump on them and I weigh 220lbs. They are solid at 90 degrees
mmm
will you get surgery soon?
