What problems tend to flare up more in the last cm of femur lengthening?
« on: November 23, 2022, 10:58:56 PM »
At 6cm gnail femurs

Gonna go for one more cm and then focus on relearning how to walk normally (some issues with that pain around that top bone that might be attached to IT band + issues with swaying side to side when walking)

feels a bit like the calm before the storm

A few days ago, the ROM, pain, stiffness, etc were all getting better

That all just started getting a bit worse + more pain for right leg clicking (4-5ish), which I haven't had a problem with in a while, it was more like 1-2 pain max most of the time before. Wonder if I should readjust the pillow position or something for the right leg clicking

Have not had nerve pain in a while but my right shin is somewhat numb to the touch still. Also started getting more pains/odd cracking around the hip/joint between the hip and leg and brief pain cramps around that area

For me , first pinky numbness from using walker
Secondly , left knee pain  caused by sudden drop temperature,  went away after I got home .
Third , loss of buttstock
Fourth , after I passed 70mm , left inner thigh muscle pain made me took three days off .
Other than these , it all went great!!!!
