X-legs is a bitch. It will lead to arthritis in your knees and then you're fked for life.

I just signed up at a new gym and have an appointment with a new physio therapist next week.

I will now do everything in my power to try and fix my X-legs. It was way worse before so that's why I think I can fix it somehow.

If not, I will demand surgery. My knees ache every day, but I can stand it. It's not terrible, but it's enough for me to try and fix it now.
I will add mass to my thighs as I had before the surgery and I will get my butt back.

I will be cycling, doing heavy squats and leg press until I break. Cycling 7 days/week and heavy gym 5-6 days/week.
My coach has helped me with a new diet so I can't fail. He predicts I'll get my muscles back around July if I stick to the program.

Don't ask why I haven't done it before. LL is a serious surgery that affects your mental state in a way you can never imagine.
You can never get properly prepared.

I'm an athlete and I miss having goals to achieve. This will be my new diary regarding the X-legs, genu valgum, I retrieved from lengthening 7cm with Dr Sarin January 2013 - April 2013. I didn't stand up enough and my feet were hanging to the sides so maybe my tibias got twisted somehow. But I think the ilizarov should hold them in place.
It's the femurs that clearly are twisted from muscle atrophy.

I'll let you know. Pictures will come. Discussions about X-legs are most welcome.

My femurs are twisted inwards. Not my tibias.

It was way worse right after frame removal and it has gotten much better since then. So how do you explain that?

I'll make a doctors appointment too to hear what they have to say about it. I'm determined to get rid of it now.
