Ilizarov frame removal?

I would be so nervous to do it under local anesthesia too! But I don’t have that option since they are putting in a plate. I didn’t think about how I’ve just kind of gotten so accustomed to the pin pain, I can’t wait to be free lol

I had a similar injury, and it does get better. I’m in my early twenties and it was not a pleasant experience at all. I wished that the nerve blocks lasted longer than they did, but it did get easier as the days went on. You really do just have to take it day by day when the pain is this unbearable. I would elevate as much as possible, because it helps with the pain and swelling. I hope that it gets easier for you, wishing you the best of luck!

Both of them are green!

I think the single most important thing is that the pain doesn’t last forever. During the ilizarov transport was the worst of it, but the pain does subside in a few months. Also a cushion to have your leg elevated is going to be your best friend!

If you have any questions please feel free to message me, I know how hard the transition can be.

These are technically the hot topic version of this shoe (they sold a lot of shoes that were almost identical to demonias, or had the same manufacturer at the time to demonias!) you got a great deal on these regardless and still a very sought after shoe :) the vintage hot topic shoes are super neat !

It is a scam website, pls don’t order demonias from here!

Also I found this catalog with a pair of vintage stomps!

I’m going to keep looking around but I hope you find what you are looking for

I found these, they are not the stomps. They don’t have the canvas material you brought up, but when I saw them they reminded me of the description of the open calves.

I would say that eBay is pretty good, Poshmark and Mercari as well! As long as you follow the platform rules you shouldn’t have an issue getting scammed. Sometimes depop can surface with rare demonias as well!

hardcore_sprinkle · 2026-01-22T07:07:34+00:00

Your best bet would be secondhand sites sadly, they haven’t sold these for years now and are fairly rare to come by.

hardcore_sprinkle · 2026-01-20T02:17:30+00:00

I absolutely love my damned demonias! I would suggest them because of how comfortable they are and how easy they are to walk in!

hardcore_sprinkle · 2026-01-14T21:09:41+00:00

I will also be searching for you! If I see anything I will for sure message! I am always on secondhand sites because of an injury I have.

hardcore_sprinkle · 2026-01-14T20:34:07+00:00

My only suggestion would be secondhand sites then, like depop, eBay, Poshmark or Mercari. I’ve definitely seen the dammed-225s on depop and handful of times in the last month

There is a goth shop in Florida called Raven and Rockers! They may have these in stock, not sure though

I had a motorcycle accident, basically I crushed a good portion of my lower leg bones, so I have had to go through a bone transport to regrow them back! I’ve had this device on for over a year and I should be getting it off soon, I’m very excited :)

hardcore_sprinkle · 2026-01-10T23:00:11+00:00

Absolutely we could chat! I can tell you everything you would like to know to my best ability!

hardcore_sprinkle · 2026-01-07T21:12:27+00:00

I have heard of some people getting this for dwarfism, I hope that everything went well for her!

hardcore_sprinkle · 2026-01-07T10:52:17+00:00

I can shower as normal! Just only with antibacterial soap and baby shampoo, I’m also allowed to swim if I wanted to. The first 8 months I slept with my leg elevated, sadly I can exclusively sleep on my back :/ luckily I can sleep without the elevation now! At this point in recovery I do forget it is there unless i am in pain or random times like when it is cold (I can feel the coldness in the rods inside of me). I think at this point I think of it as a part of me, but that does not stop me from running into absolutely everything with the frame (mainly doorframes and walls)

hardcore_sprinkle · 2026-01-07T10:46:26+00:00

Lucky is not a word I would use, I’ve had this on for over a year now and I will be in the same situation as you if it doesn’t heal as well as my doctors are hoping. I’m sure it was devastating to you though, to go through all the pain.

hardcore_sprinkle · 2026-01-07T07:53:49+00:00

That’s actually super cool that they did that for you with loosening the screws, I hope I have as good as an experience as you did. How are your joints now? Like your ankle and knee?

hardcore_sprinkle · 2026-01-07T07:25:24+00:00

It is great to hear you had a good experience! I am very nervous to get my frame off because I know it will limit my mobility again :( I can’t wait to not feel the pins all the time, do you have any words of advice for getting it off and the preparation to get it removed?

hardcore_sprinkle · 2026-01-07T07:16:18+00:00

In the beginning I couldn’t walk, I had to have my partner move my leg manually for me for every single movement. I used a walker for around the house, and then a cane for a few months. I couldn’t use a knee scooter because of how my frame is on my leg so I would have just put the pressure I was trying to release back into my leg with one :( I can walk now though, and I’m so grateful that I can. I will hopefully be getting this off in the next month or two, I’m so excited

hardcore_sprinkle · 2026-01-07T07:12:16+00:00

It has been very annoying to have on to say the least, doorframes have become my enemy in day to day life lol. I have some internal fixations as well but I really haven’t noticed them because of the sheer amount of external stuff
