Title: What do people mean by 10/10 pain? During first few days of surgery
Post by: Unknown on November 18, 2022, 02:30:33 PM

Please describe in as detailed way as possible, would like to get mentally prepared. For those that done LON tibias, what was the worst pain like? Is the pain like throbbing or what Thanks.

10/10 on pain scale means worst pain ever felt, to the point of vomiting, passing out, unable to carry on a conversation, involuntary wetting of pants and bowel movement. Prolonged experience could lead to suicidal feelings. How could people withstand weeks of 10/10 pain??? Is it 10 on the VAS scale or what?

I haven't got the LON but Every Diary I've read about the LON tibias describes the pain in the first few days as excruciating and torture like. If you proceeded with the LON method expect 10/10 pain for the first few days. I don't want to scare you but expect 10/10 pain if you proceed with the LON or any external method. If you want a less painful method, go with maybe an internal device, but if not, remember 1 week of pain for a lifetime of no longer being short.

Thats whats talking. Most people heavily exaggerate this. If its painful to the point of collapse and desperation i dont think many people would do it. How much did you spend for ur surgery?
