Off Topic - Amputees
Whilst I have posted about my recent amputation due to complications as a result of PAD (peripheral arterial disease) here I am now getting issues that are outside the scope of a heart and circulation forum. Healthunlocked do not seem to have a forum for amputees and those supporting them.

Sunday Morning Observations
Note: for any new members I am in rehab following a below knee amputation to my left leg due to PAD (peripheral arterial disease). I am trying to gain weight as i Iost 15kg but allow 3kg for my leg.

Phantom Pain
As many of you will have read I had a left leg BKA (below knee amputation) a month ago today due to complications of PAD (peripheral arterial disease). With tens of thousands of members I cannot be the first or last amputee.

Monitoring PAD
Since the amputation of my lower left leg due to complications of PAD I have obviously been concerned about the wellbeing of my right leg going forward. I have had two follow up telephone appointments with vascular services.

Motorcycle Boot?
After an above knee (AKA) or below knee amputation (BKA) you have to wear a special stocking, called a Juzo, to help shape the stump and prevent issues like a "bell end" which make fitting a prothesis challenging!
Because I had issues with the wound I still have a dressing to protect it.
