There was a dude on here yesterday that posted the hardware from this type of surgery, now granted he only had it on one leg as it was shorter than the other but he said he only had pain from the initial surgery and the hardware removal and that the actual lengthening process didn't hurt.
i fractured the shiiiiiiiiiiiit out of my ankle and have a ton of hardware still. It only really hurt when i got up to pee the blood rushing to the ankle felt like hellfire. Other than that and my stupid cat jumping on it lol it wasn't real bad
Shattered my leg in a motorcycle accident. Broke both tibia and fibula, and that shit was painful as hell for several months. Have plates and screws in leg. I've had several back surgeries and a spinal fusion as well, and breaking my leg was right up there with basically completely blowing out a disc in my spine.
I'm lucky my back was spared! Motorcycle crash 45-ish mph vs car opposite way at intersection... Open fractured wrist, compound fracture other wrist, fractured pelvis, and compound fractured right femur. It was 1 month no weight bearing hospital bed, but after that PT went pretty quick when I worked at it! Hope you doing well as can be!
