niuiceprincess Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hmm I guess this is really more from genetics. Mine never really got big but I love how strong they are (and thanks to skating too)! Sometimes i even make my hubby punch them and he's like wow it's like a brick wall...now my abs? thats a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kok79 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If you dun get the spasm in your legs, you should be able to walk around for an 1 hr or so. Depends on how you recover, but I would say if you have a normal recovery, you should be able to get out of the hotel for a walk and a bit of shop. I was able to go to the mall on Day 3, but on Day 4 i started getting the spasm... my walking was very restricted after i got the spasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel310 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Dr. Park had said that about 1% of patients get spasms, but sofar of the 4 people that I know of that had the surgery have all had spasms... coincidence? or is the chance of having spasms more than 1%? hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashmi99 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I had a horribly slow recovery and was able to get out and do a bit of shopping and sight seeing. At first, Dr. Park will tell you not to walk more than 1 hour without taking a break. I could walk ok, just very slow. The hardest part was finding shoes that were comfortable. Because my calves were not strong, I was putting A LOT of pressure on the heel of my foot and found my feet got sore very easy. We went to Shinsegae Station, which has TONS of shops and also the area by the US Army base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalaurlie Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 If it makes you feel any better i have the same problem, which is why i googled "how to make calves smaller" haha and this came up. My calves are bigger than my thighs! well i think they are. I HATE wearing shorts and skinny jeans because my claves ruin everything! anyway ive heard guys prefer actual legs to stick spider legs and thats the only thing that gets me to be somewhat okay with them im pretty sure its is genetic b/c my dad has the same thing although id like to blame it on years of diving ohh well its whats on the inside that counts, right?

kok79 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 The platform shoe doesn't need to be too high, as long as its a flat heel. This is what I wore during my two weeks in Korea. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
