Why can’t lymphedema limbs be amputated?
Why is
amputation
not a good treatment? I understand that lymphedema makes the whole system malfunction. But wouldn’t it make sense, that if the most non-working area was removed it'd bring ease to the rest of the body? I'm sure this has been tried at some point for some people - does anyone know?

Eye examination can detect Nerve damages in Type-2.
Sometimes the reduction can also cause the need for an
amputation
. There is currently no cure for this type of nerve damage, and the methods available so far at clinics to diagnose the condition are not entirely optimal.

Relief from sciatica?
The reason for my post is that, despite Co-codamol and the injections, some days my sciatica is so bad I feel I would be happy to have an
amputation
. Drastic I know and it would never happen! Does anyone else feel like this?

The risk of infection is high and I was told that if infection occurred, then
amputation
maybe necessary. My question is, would It be beneficial for me to get the operations even to alleviate the pain or is it to high a risk.

Problems sparking my anxiety; don't know what to do
Hi, I'm an adult college student in my 40's. I've suffered with anxiety and depression for 20+ years. My sister, who works in psychiatric diagnostics, has mentioned PTSD and ADHD, but I haven't been diagnosed. I take Wellbutrin and Clonidine. The Wellbutrin has helped tremendously and I take the

How To Get Injured Without Even Trying
There has been a number of posts where people ask about niggles and injuries and I have certain qualifications on that front that some may find useful. If bored with nothing to do, you may as well read my long-ish post. Enjoy! 1. Why initial lifestyle change? On the outset all looked fine. I never had

Diabetes or Death?
I stopped eating alot of sweet things in general since Early September but in these past two weeks I have been more loose when it comes to my sugar intake, which makes me so afraid I have diabetes and will need an
amputation
, or that its a sign of a soon approaching death.

Feet and ankles are screaming at me!
Sorry for being dramatic, but I'm so fed up with my feet and ankles. They are always a problem for me but at the moment they are awful, making walking anywhere a misery. I have sharp pain in ankles and constant burning on the top of my feet and toes. I can't find anything remotely comfortable to wear

Paraphimosis
I've just googled it, and it's apparently a medical emergency as it can lead to gangrene and
amputation
!! No one answering phone on 24 hr DN support line. Not sure what to do - is it something that can wait until the morning, I haven't a clue.

Pernicious Anemia
Long story short, I ended with bone tumors, several surgeries and finally ended with a below the knee
amputation
9 months ago. During all this, I started losing weight, feeling off, brain fog, ringing in my ear and extreme anxiety.

Biggest Myths About Type 2 Diabetes Treatment. Are myths about diabetes keeping you from getting the most out of your treatment?
For example, a patient who comes to the hospital with very high blood sugar and gangrene may start insulin at the hospital but ultimately lose the affected limb — the patient might think the

was related to the insulin, but in reality, insulin might have prevented the complication if the treatment

Amazing Cure for Diabetic Foot Ulcers !! we are very thankful to Vaidyaraj Anil Dogra
Doctors had ordered
amputation
of the big toe. We did not want that because we had this issue before also with another uncle in family.
Amputation
is bad as such but the infection stays within and he died a year later due to sepsis.

PLEASE HELP!! Coumadin for Stroke -long term therapy; Raynaud's; Type II diabetes, Severe allergy, hypothroidism, migraines
All digits were very ulcerated by that time and
amputation
was considered. That fall I was looking for a job in another state. In the middle of my interview, I began shivering uncontrollably and my hands turned purple up to my wrists. The tip of my ears and nose turned purple too.

There's always amputation .... :)
Sitting here almost at bedtime and my right leg from the side of my foot and moving on up is 'plugged in'. Hate this feeling. I take codeine (not a heavy dose) when things get too bad but want to be cautious with that. I am limited what else I can take because of interactions with warfarin and heart

Feet- problems return
This is very scary as in 2015 they were talking about
amputation
if this Antibiotic they used didn't work . To this day they never were able to identify or have they seen anything like it since.
