text: how painful is ilizarov height increasing surgery? is egypt a good place to do it? i've heard of people not complain of pain. they said it was pain free. how's that? why are you wanting this surgery? my daughter has pffd and needs this surgery. it puts alot of stress on your hips and kness. (might need surgerys for this also). i heard the surgery itself is not that bad. it's the therapy that hurts
