Suzanne wrote..Hi my name is Suzanne and Im in the process of trying to decide if amputation is the road I should take? Ive been living with pain in my ankle and foot for 25yrs. I can no longer do the things I want to do. Like taking my dogs for a walk, going to the fair, or just taking a walk. I am able to walk short distances. I am really confused and scared. I dont know how to get to the point of telling my doctor ok lets cut my leg off. Ive heard completely different stories. One about how painful it is, The phantom pain. How scary it is to walk down stairs, how hard it is to walk in grass. How even after yrs have passed after having the leg amputated but there still so much pain. Others tell me its a process the pain is bad in the beginning but not so bad afterwards. You can do anything you choose to do only a different way. How do I make this decision?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
