TIBIA LENGTHENING IN MOSCOW WITH DR BAGIROV

Edit Post

but youve heard of  bad bruising???

Edit Post

I've never heard of it in an LL patient.  You would've been an unusual case in Beijing.  It's probably because of all the walking they have you doing; I've also never heard of someone walking as much as you.

I had very little bruising, on one spot on each leg (though not exactly symmetrical obviously), in the middle of the outer sides of the calves. They are gone now though, cant remember when they disappeared because i didnt pay much attention to them, since I didnt have any pain specific to the bruised areas. Im pretty sure they where gone quite fast though. Otherwise my mother would have mentioned it when i got home, she always noticed stuff like that lol

I'll update more fully soon. .. but  I have pain at a pin site,  almost the same position as wb butright leg... The pin hole looks abnormal to me , as if the hole is getting ripped open wider, but might just be a normal pin hole. .. If I pull skin there  it is very sensitive. .. I dont think it could be the pin moving and ripping the skin? Might be infection.... Need to get antibiotic. .. it looks gross to me. . If this is what the holes look like,  it's gonna be ugly. ... Of course getting a hold of the Dr is almost impossible. ... At this point, I say skip bagirov,  and go Somewhere where the aftercare is top notch. ... it is nonexistent with the bagirov clinic. ..  I just hope I can get this pin hole pain fixed. ...

Also, the right leg is worse than left by far. .. I can't even bend my right knee yet. .. Left I can easily. .. Maybe that pin is going through a nerve

Tell one of the nurses to give you antiseptic solution to clean the pinsite, and then ask for antibiotic cream/ointment and put it on the pinsite, and change the pinsite dressing in that spot and put some antibiotics on the cotton piece as well. My small "infection" has improved quite a bit already with this, hope it works for you too.

Ty wbg...  i already am gone from Russia. .. I think bactrim will do the trick

Sounds familiar to me (except the infection part).  I was lucky enough to avoid that despite the pinsite tearing.
