hi guys my name is Alan I've just got my calf implants 1 week ago today
I travelled to California from overseas to get he procedure done
It's been one week and here are my symptoms
When I sit in a sitting position my lower calf on both legs gives me very sore pain
Pain which than passes when I elevate my legs
My next pain I cannot straighten my legs either of them it's extremely painful if I were to force it
And finally because of the above I cannot walk yet at all I can stand hunched over but cannot walks legs became swollen and I brushed pretty bad to ankles,feet.heels and calf areas
Is all this normal? Obviously results vary from patient to patient
But I would be really greatfull if somebody could tell me how long it takes before I can stand and Wall again

I'm from outside the Los Angeles area so I would have to travel as well. How did you manage to board a plane if you still cant walk? I would appreciate as much information about your entire experience as your willing to share. Best of luck in your recovery

Dear Alan, I am happy to see that you are doing very well, although you had a difficult recovery, at first. As I had shown you during your early recovery phase, it is important to stretch the Achilles tendon by standing up and weight bearing. Otherwise, the Achilles tendon tightens up and makes the early recovery harder. In any case, you made it, and I am very happy to see you pleased with your results. Best to you and your family. Dr. Younai

Dear Alan,
I am very happy that you are doing great and walking and doing all your normal activities.
One of the things that contributed to your stiffness was lack of walking and stretching out after surgery. I noticed that you were able to walk just after surgery, but when you started to use a motor-chair your Achilles tendons got stiff and tight and made walking harder. After showing you exercises to stretch your Achilles your function returned. therefore, I recommend that all patients walk after surgery in order to prevent tightening of their Achilles tendons.
best,
Sean Younai, MD

Doc told me 3 days you'll be fine it's now 2 weeks just and im still not walking right
He said he never seen it before
But there was noting done different I mean I was put to sleep and I got my implants other than that I got bad bruising and swelling
That's it and now I can't walk
He doesn't know what it is but I seen on here that people had problems weeks later with not been able to open there legs fully at the knee joint
I hope it will subside in time
I've put my question up here and not one reply did I get other than your question that's pretty sad
