@@shahbazshakoor9221 Hello Shabaz, I’ve been thinking about undergoing this surgery but am concerned about recovery. How has your recovery been so far? Very curious as it’s been over half a year at this point. Thank you for feed back, much appreciated.

@@andyjordan9293 how was the recovery? How painful was it?

[@matthewhansen1456]

Quick question. I'm 29 and was given one week off work for recovery. Does anyone who's gone through it think it's possible? I have an office job.

[@ham5483]

Absolutely not

[@chelsealovely3755]

Matthew no. This is a massive undertaking and you need to be kind to yourself and take as much time off as you need. AT LEAST 2 months and that’s putting it lightly

[@rykertodd6721]

I’m 27 I went back to work after four weeks

[@latoyamatson6197]

I'm so scared. I'm only 37 and I have severe OA in both knees and my cartilage is non existent on the same side of the knee that has the worst of the arthritis. So they wanna try this surgery. It's been months of crutches, pain, and waiting and now the other knee is getting worse and I'm barely able to even stand. Which is bad because I have to go up and down 22 stairs to get in and out of my apartment. Not being able to move is causing me to put on weight which is even worse. I'm just frustrated and scared. I pray this is a good choice.

Have faith in the doctor you are trusting in to do the procedure, you are doing it for a reason, and even if you are afraid because of the complications you may encounter, think positive, your emotions affect your recovery, if you already need this and are willing to do everything you can in order to recover properly then its no use to be negative over things we cannot control at all (that may or may not be complications), you will recover, you will be fine, you will be healthy, at least I wish that you can be it, BEST OF LUCK!!, and if you want do tell me about your recovery process.

I wish this wasn't true, but these osteotomy surgeries ruin people's health and that of all the other people who have them done. The bone where they sawed afterwards doesn't stick properly anymore, it gets weak and it will slide little by little and sink inwards with time. I believe that a bone scar is left or for some other reason I don't know. Maybe it is left with little room to regenerate and becomes weak or another reason. It is not the same as a normal fracture where afterwards the bone becomes normal again. When you sawed it, or break it with a chisel, in this case it is different. The bone is left with a problem afterwards. Then the person gets all twisted because of this, as the bone sinks, it ends up twisting or sinks all the other bones of the body. If they do it in the lower limbs. But everywhere, it ends up disturbing people. Besides that, the nerves around where they do this also sink and leave their original place, and then the person starts to feel everything altered and only starts to feel bad things afterwards. Both in the external environment and in the body itself because of this. This surgery is a mistake in medicine, just as there are mistakes in any other profession. I don't know how it hasn't been forbidden until today, with so many people getting bad afterwards, I'm pretty sure all of them. It doesn't matter if it is done on the nose, leg, foot, heel, people end up getting bad the same way. I hope this comment helps. Take great care, health is very precious. After we lose it, our life becomes very difficult, and so does the life of the people around us, who end up being affected as well. A hug. _
