Day 9 Recap & Small Day 10 Update
Day 9 was another slow day for me, not much to do. However, I started noticing my legs were heavier than normal. I was getting used to it but my legs are much more tight than usual aswell, and the pain goes super high when I stand up from a seated position, up to 8/10 and leaves me screaming. The night of Day 9 was super ty because I have to lengthen every 6 hours, and I lengthened at 12am. I stayed up until around 1 to take my norco until I finally fell asleep. I then woke ip at 5am again, extremely uncomfortable with my stomach hurting. I think I am not eating enough even despite me not being hungry and eating as much as I can.
I really gotta stress the pain when I stand up. My legs are a lot heavier and sore, and the pain for the brief second in which I move from a seated position to a standing position with a walker is unbearable.
Precice 2.2 Femurs with Dr. Mahboubian March 30 2021
How important is it to have a caretaker during the first 2 weeks? I'm planning to do Precise 2.2 Femur lengthening this summer.
Personally could not survive without one during the first week. HUGE inconvenience if I didn’t have one during the second but getting a lot better.
How's it been racecar. Week 3ish for you now. Hopefully your pain/soreness from post-surgery is going down!
Keep fighting bro
Hey! I’m doing good. Pain and soreness has gone down a lot, but I’m stretching very intensely 4 times a day and its very painful when I push myself that hard, but I’m seeing clear results. I haven’t made an update post in a while but I will soon once I receive the x-ray film from the hospital! I’ve met up with Dr. Mahboubian again and he says that my xray is excellent, but my range of motion and tightness will have to improve a lot otherwise I won’t be able to go the full 8cm.
Congratulations on the procedure. Wishing you a speedy recovery man!
Looking forward to your week 4 updates.
Chekin up on ya racecar. How u doin. Make sure to Take care of yourself, especially mentally.
Cheers
Hey man, my legs are a lot stronger now. However, the past week I’ve started to have hamstring problems. My tibias, for some reason, started to feel cold and numb, and I have a sharp pain that shoots through my whole leg sometimes. Hamstrings are my main concern currently and I’m gonna call Dr. M tomorrow to ask about the numbness. They’re super tight, it felt like they randomly started guarding — similar to my first couple days post op. Just when my quads flexibility really started improving. I’m currently at 3cm, and I’ve gotten a lot more used to it.
Some xrays n pics please! Would love to see ur progress!
@racecarworm - I am glad that you are feeling better! It's good for you that you are doing it at such a young age. Uni was the place where I wished I was taller the most. I hope the other 5cm will be easier and you will achieve your goal. Good luck!!!
