Hey guys it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything on here but I was a regular back in the Mototalk days. Anyways I have a question for some of you guys. I’ve talked a little to BobbyM about this but I’m looking for Chris the guy with one leg who won the X-games adaptive race a few years back. He used to be on Mototalk. I had a bad crash back in 2000 and completely shattered my lower leg and ankle and after 3 surgeries I have a fused ankle. After 18 years of dealing with this pain everyday I’m thinking about having my leg taken off below the knee. I met with a pain management Dr today and he said there is nothing he can do to help me with the pain that I haven’t already tried. I am getting a second opinion on ankle replacement surgery on September 12 with a hot shot Dr in San Francisco. The local Podiatrists said because of the trauma and how it was put back together she said ankle replacement couldn’t be done or at least she wouldn’t do it so she referred me to this guy in the city. I’m done with living in pain and wanted to talk to Chris or someone who has gone thru an amputation. Are they glad they did it and do the have phantom pain and if so how do they manage and also how their everyday life has affected them. So if anyone has any advice feel free to let me know your thoughts. I’m 49 years old and am over this pain.
