Annie wrote--Hey my name is Annie and Im a 22 year old disabled veteran. I was an an accident on duty in 2012. I suffered injuries to my left leg and lower back. I have had surgery in my left foot as well as injections/surgeries in my lower back to try to lessen the pain and increase my mobility. I moved home to Las Vegas on TDRL and took up medical treatment at the VA. They have decided to do an amputation of my left leg due to drop foot and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS/RSD). The doctors and i are still unsure of where to amputate as my quality of life would be better with a BKA but if not enough of the CRPS is contained, I may not be able to use a prosthetic. Should I opt for an ABKA to avoid going through this twice or just pray a BKA will work. thanks for your advice.
