toe amputation
Hello everyone! I’m at the end of the road with metatarsal pain and hammer toe. I’ve had toe fusion in the past but toes have just drifted again and they are are very painful. My surgeon suggests amputating the middle hammer toe and then arthroplasy on the metatarsals. I need some advice please has anyone

Amputation?
I think, he is thinking
amputation
. But, he would not tell me that. I feel like the damage to my nerves are already done, I don't have any cigs right now, but I want one real bad. I have been complaining about my feet to 2 other Doctors and they never suggested anything to me.

"I Walked Out One Summer's Morning"
Instead of a day in hospital and an angioplasty it became three months and an
amputation
! I have only seen my house once since walking to the taxi when a friend took me for a drive by.

After my bypass a few people went off radar (others have commented on this previously) but since my
amputation
over half the people I knew have. One I had known for nearly forty years. Three are quite strange.

Amputation
Hi there I am just wondering if anyone knows how I can convince my specialist to agree to me having my index finger amputated. I suffered from sceladoma autoimmune disease. I have extra collengen growth I'm my fingers. This has caused my fingers to become deformed and very uncomfortable. My index

Hi newbie here. Probable secondary Raynauds advice please.
I had foot surgery on both feet last February for
amputation
of one toe & pinning of another due to RA & suddenly since October my feet started to go totally white & freezing with no feeling whatsoever. My legs are freezing up to calf level even inside the house.

pain getting worse, reducing pregabalin, getting no help with it!
I wake up in the night, if I can even sleep, my feet spasm, part of the nerve pain from the
amputation
, but also because of my cerebral palsy. I am down to 50 mg of pregaba;lin for 3 more mornings and 25 mg until next Wednesday. What can I do to carm things down a bit?

update: Zanabrutinib vs Obenven (O&V)
My husband had a traumatic
amputation
of an inch of his thumb last weekend, so we’re in holding pattern right now. I’m very thankful we had not started anything as of yet.

struggling with nerve pain after amputation and burn
Hi, I am new to this community and hope I can unload a little bit because I am struggling with nerve pain. I burnt my foot by spilling boiling water over it over 3 years ago, the burn was healing very slowly, I kept getting infections, cellulitis, and swelling. It got to the point that they had to amputate

ICU survivor 7 months later
The outcome was I had a bellow knee
amputation
of my left leg. With hindsight, it was an excellent decision by the surgeon as subsequent analysis of tissue from my calf showed the infections were travelling rapidly through my body. I spent 8 days in ICU.
