I don't usually write, but last few months was the toughest time in my life.
So I want to share it to people who want to this surgery and ask them to think over and over. Or at least go with advanced internal options.
I did my external surgery mid Nov and planing to remove my frame next month if everything goes well.
I read a lot of diary, people share their experience, some people say they could walk after 3 days post surgery and it gets easier day after day.
My experience has been totally different, it's been more than two months and I still can't even stand up, I have duck ass and I can't extend my knee more than 140 degree.
I have experienced so many different pain, I got bad Edema and the longest and worse pain is burning, I feel my feet are in fire sometimes and don't have any nerve pain killers.
Growing up,
I have broken my arm, my nose , I've been in surgery room a few times before, but LL is a different beast. It makes me scream and cry sometimes.

Truth about external LL: my experience!
