More tests being booked for hubby
I think from memory the specialist told him that worse case scenario could be severe pain gangrene and maybe
amputation
? Hubby thinks his drinking has absolutely nothing to do with his feet though

Walk to the doctors the morning
A tourniquet had been applied, but it was not deemed possible to do a field
amputation
, so he was made comfortable with the assistance of the vicar's wife Emma Blackburne, whose "activity, sense & conduct" were mentioned in The Manchester Courier and The Times and remembered with gratitude by Huskisson's

Weight Bearing on Prothesis
Some of you will know I had a BKA (below knee
amputation
) at the end of July. I picked up my prosthetic leg in mid-October but immediately hit problems with the wound reopening and blistering. After seven weeks without physio I started weekly sessions last week.

Inspirational Amputee Book
I have been told I am coping well with my
amputation
but am keen to see other people's experiences. So far I have read two books by people who have lost a leg. The problem is that they were both young (teenager and early twenties) and a lot fitter than me.

Off Topic - Amputees
I recently had a BKA
amputation
on the left due to complications as a result of (diabetes related?) PAD (peripheral arterial disease). Currently I am getting a few issues that would be outside the scope of this forum.

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.

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.

You have done it now girls !! You have upset my old mum and she's on to you!!😊😊
Dad’s advice some years ago; “If you get into a fight in the pub, put a snooker ball in your sock.”Worst advice ever, I could hardly walk! . .My girlfriend is fed up of my constant wordplay jokes. I asked her, "What can I do to stop my addiction?" She said, "Whatever means necessary." "No it doesn't

Loving Strength & Flex, feeling like a new woman
Luckily my dad refused the recommended
amputation
saying he felt sure I would rather have it there for appearance even if it wasn’t much use. Anyway now the weak knee is bending as much as the other one.

Hello! I'm new here and seeking help from fellow sufferers from a symptom that no doctor has been able to diagnose.
[i] I have had SS with all crest symptoms for 40 years. 3 years ago I had a below the knee
amputation
on my right leg due to ulcers. I have a strange sensation that no doctor or specialist has ever come across up to now. Please has anyone experienced the same?

A Large Step In My Journey!
As it is part of the same Trust that did the
amputation
I always find this going back to year dot a bit weird. There were also questions about one's education and career.

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.

One Legged Jokes
As many of you will know I had a BKA (below knee
amputation
) just over three months ago. I am feeling a bit down so I felt the need for a few jokes! When I was using the ATM the man behind me (socially distanced) asked what was taking me so long. I said I was checking my balance!
