I am writing this report about my journey with the foot lengthening program, and the program has now completely ended
My journey started in February 2013 and I am now in the recovery phase. After the CT scan, Dr. Jamal turned off the machine
I congratulate myself and Dr. Jamal on the success of the operation
But let me start from the beginning
My journey began in February. I arrived in the wonderful city of Kyiv, which is the oldest and most beautiful city. There are many places in it that have preserved their ancient heritage for more than a thousand years without any change. I think this is the reason why there are so many loyal people there, and now it is a developed and sophisticated city
After arriving in the city, within two days I found a house with a beautiful garden. I found the house easily online and found home delivery of food and water from supermarkets and restaurants
Dr. Jamal took me to the clinic for the tests and accompanied me everywhere to speed up the process. The tests were good and the surgery was scheduled for the next day
Dr. Jamal put me in a special room for wealthy patients and the nurses started preparing me for the operation. The thing I noticed most is that the people in Kiev are very kind and all I felt during the operation was the anesthetic injection and nothing more
I woke up from the operation feeling very drunk and I didn’t feel any pain. My only thought was to call my wife and tell her that the operation was successful and that everything was fine
The surgery was done with precision. Dr. Jamal implanted a Pliskunov bike in my right leg. The next day, he had me stand on my feet and I went to the bathroom alone with the help of a support. The day after, I took a shower with the doctor’s help. After moving to the regular room, I was able to return to work by phone as I was not feeling any discomfort and left the clinic alone with the help of the support
After the surgery, I started walking with a crutch to my house, which is on a small hill. I did some exercises, but Dr. Jamal told me it was too early to do any more exercises, so I cut back
The only thing that bothered me was the pelvic area, where the pelvis and femur connect on the Pleskunov bikes, and I felt tightness and lack of movement in this area
I spoke with Dr. Jamal about these difficulties, and he told me he was working on a new device without a pelvic prosthesis. I became more interested and asked him when the device would be ready. He told me he would implant it in my left leg during the second part of the surgery
The right kick program lasted for three months, and the increase in the length of the right leg was 8.5 cm. The pain was minimal and one painkiller was sufficient. Dr. Jamal stopped the device after this period
Now I’m talking about “Jamal’s Nail”
The operation was also without any side effects. Immediately after the surgery, we started the device movement “clicking”
With the previous device, it was difficult for me to do the tapping on my own, but with the new device, I was doing the tapping without any help. In general, the new device does not require control from a doctor, and the tapping process takes only two minutes a day and does not strain the muscles, so I did not feel pain as in the right leg, and I did not do any exercises on the left leg, but rather I was satisfied with massage, physical therapy, and using the support
Two weeks after the operation, I was walking and strolling by myself in parks, shops and restaurants. I remember asking Dr. Gamal to go to the beach to relax after the rehabilitation program. He was amazing when he told me that I could travel even before the rehabilitation phase was over, which surprised me and gave me a lot of energy and psychological comfort. Indeed, I traveled to Turkey for 17 days. I felt some fatigue in my right leg only while swimming, which proved to me the wonder of “Jamal’s nail.” Then the doctor called me and asked me to come back for a CT scan. I returned to Kiev and the scan showed that the device would need to be left in for another month
Dr. Jamal visited me every day, and I felt like he was more of a friend than my doctor. With him being with me, the month passed quickly, and my friendship with Dr. Jamal is priceless to me
After a month, we had an x-ray done which showed that my feet were at the same length. It was decided to remove the device the next day. Dr. Jamal performed the operation with such precision that I didn’t even feel it. He then woke me up and gave me the necessary medication. I then traveled back to my country to complete the rehabilitation process
Story Summary: It was a long road and there were difficult times, but it didn’t require more than willpower. There were also unforgettable happy moments
Thank God, Dr. Jamal was by my side all the time. I cannot imagine the positive results without his professionalism and unlimited care. Now I live my normal life in a completely different way, having forgotten the negative effects that my short stature caused
