What is this ?
« on: August 22, 2017, 10:58:14 PM »

Hey guys,

Hope u all doin really well. I'm a monorail LON patient and went through the surgery on 10'th of July in Istanbul and now I'm about 3.8 millimeters taller as I do 1 millimeters a day from the 6'th day of the surgery.

I started walking with the walker the next day after the surgery and started walking without any help (crutches etc.) on  the fourth day of surgery. Since then I was walking without aid and it was quite comfortable.

Then when I've reached 3 centimeters and the exact day I've started to go to a physiotherapy center. After that it began. I have no pain when I'm lying or sitting but when I start to walk whenever I give my weight to the front of my left the front of the left leg hurts really much and since then I can't walk.

I can't find the hurting area even though I tried pushing every point on my leg to see where it hurts. I think it comes from the inside.

Do you have any idea what causes this pain or how to stop it ?
Did anyone had a similar occasion ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi jexus,

Pain in the feet during the lengthening phase is not uncommon, but it can have one or more of many reasons.
Could be a nerve damage, could come from the tendons, could be an infection, could be a craze inside the bone, maybe your foot was still numb from the surgery and now it is healing and so on.

You really should go to a doctor and have it checked. The sooner, the better.

Good luck :)

Guys thank you for your answers.

I'm lengthening my tibias. Btw the pain is on the front side of my left leg when I try to walk. It doesnt hurt when I just stand up but hurts as I take steps.

Darn, no, somehow I was thinking that he'd written tibia.
The Mandela Effect is here :P

Monorails are not fully weight bearable and after a few cms they become really unstable and don't support efficiently the bone.
You should NOT walk with monorails especially since you have a 3 cm bone gap.
So till the end of lengthening and the locking of internal nail stop walking. I had LL with monorails and I know what I am talking about.

Out of curiosity, what monorails did you have? Pitkar, Orthofix or from any other company?
I'm asking, because my monorails from Pitkar were fully weight-bearing at ~60kg body weight.

Guys thanks again

I've got something on which says "TASARIMMED". I guess it is a Turkish company.
The same as the other Muharrem Inan tibia patents' here.

Orthofix. I was 80kg when I did my surgery but I doubt if they coud fully bear 60kg. I think that yours couldn't bear so much weight too. If you lengthened more than 3-3.5 cm you could see that you wouldn't walk without pain and after less than 1 cm more you wouldn't walk at all.

At about 2cm I could walk too but after 3, no way.

The funny thing is. Sometimes (really rarely) after a long painfull walk, the pain goes away immediately and I feel completely good. Then after some time it comes back again. Esspecially when I wake up in the morning it becomes almost unbearable to walk.
