It's a scary thought to do LATN or LON.

I have just realized that I can also start University in April 2020 instead of October. 9 months from now must be enough I hope to consolidate...

I guess I will wait.

Don’t let it delay you bro just go to university with the frames, you’ll probably be able to take them off for sure 3-5 more months

If your bones aren’t consolidated it is a reflection of your nutrition or sleep deficiency. Some people’s body naturally produce more, you probably have a calcium or vitamin d deficiency stacked with you not eating the right vitamins. Do you go out at all? You realize exposing skin to the sun is how your body produces a lot of it’s vitamin D. Drink milk, take calcium and Vit-D supplements, sleep good and your bones should consolidate, a few months is plenty of time


Don’t do nailing; you’re already at the end why would you drill through your knees and bones when you’re already at the end thats pure stupidity. And on top of that you’re risking knee pain and paying 6k euros

This is the best advice you're going to get here. You and I are as you know quite comparable in our stages of recovery, but my bone growth seems to be way better. If I was you and my bone growth sucked, it is 100% a nutrition problem. I think I'm much older than you actually. I'd do this:

Start eating absolutely as many fruits and vegetables (specifically green ones) as much as you can. Spinach, brocolli, onions, and eat a lot of them. So much that your pee is neon. 1 protein shake will do nothing. You need vitamins and minerals, and almost entirely mostly vegetables. Lean meat like chicken is okay, a good diet drives it all. Eat complex carbs, no white bread, naan, lavash, if it's white don't eat it. Wheat and grain heavy with grains and brown or dark as it can get. Eat until you crap  all day.



Start banging the pavement with your legs a whole lot more. Get super comfortable shoes and walk, walk walk. Wrap your ankles so they don't get swollen. I made this mistake that I didn't walk enough. Don't touch any NSIADS. And when you're not walking, use an electro stimulator if you can find one. Take it very seriously.

Man you are literally at the edge of it, you're almost there. We'll do it together.

I need you to lay out your full eating program and exercise. Let's figure it out and get you out of those fking frames together.

Hey thanks for your through response!
Dr. Giannakos had told me that meat everyday was the most important of all and Vitamin D. Is there an electro stimulator that you can recommend?

So far I had eaten

a sandwich for breakfast (the most healthy: salmon, tomato, cucumber, cheese), the least healthy (bread with nutella)

right now I eat a plate of mango sclices

Lunch: a lot of meat (all kinds of) with sides (especially rice, sometimes vegetables, aspargus but I never liked it much...that will change from today)

Evening: some fruits, a bowl of oats and milk,  afterwards a bowl of natural yoghurt and a banana inside

then a protein shake

Lately I couldn't walk as much because of the inflammation. How much would you recommend in minutes/hours per walk/day?

There really isn't anything wrong with eating so much protein. Here is the honest truth: Protein will help build muscles, not bones. Your problems are because of bone growth, not protein deficiency. Just remember, that every bite of protein or meat gives you less space for vitamins and minerals. Start switching to salads, and eat a lot of them. Like all the foods I listed above. If it's not green and colourful don't eat it!

Vitamin D is derived from sunshine, that means walking outside as much as possible, 20-30 minutes in the hottest part of the day. I believe you have an indian background? Get outside and soak in the sun. Pills are good but you need natural food. What part is getting inflammation? I have problems with my ankles, so I wrap them with tensor bands. I honestly believe you need to walk until it hurts. because each step bangs on your bones to start growing.

Then, you need to do physio, when you're in bed and resting, do everything in this video when you're finally home, full or sunshine and vegetables.



After this video above, then you have your protein shake. Build the muscles to start strengthening your balance and legs. I think this is less of your problem but treat it as importantly. The only thing that will stop you is laziness.

I would suggest an Exogen 4000+ but do some research before you buy, I'll help you.

Okay I have took your advice. Now I'm eating more vegetables and fruits. Not Indian. More in the central of Asia. There is one pin that always causes troubles in my right knee. On some days it prevents me totally from putting my weight on the right leg. On the better days it still bothers me, so I can't put my whole weight on it like I do with my left one. Maybe the pin hits a sensitive part.

Luckily I have no problems with my ankles. When I stretch a lot they get a bit swollen but it disappears soon.

It is weird because in the very beginning and during the whole time in Athens I was able to stand up and make my steps shortly after. Now I need a few minutes + until I'm used to the pins in my legs and only then I can make my first steps. That's almost the most annoying part of this process.

Thanks again for all the information!

Well good, I'm in Central Asia and I can eat food like this (my dinner). This is exactly how your meals should look as well.

It's a turkish dish cig kofte which is basically carb loaded buckwheat with tons of spices and vegetables, Eat leafy greens and you'll never really need tablets or proteins.

Greece and turkey have exactly similar cuisines so you'll be able to make and find it. I also wanted to share with you I'm almost completely walking unaided, and am using my crutches for stairs and minor steps. My gait needs some small improvement but not much, and I'll approach my doctor soon to get these damn frames off.
