Hello there, I am a pre-med student with plans to specialize in orthopaedic surgery, and I just had a quick question. I have heard that for most traumatic amputees it is painful to apply body weight to the distal end of the residual limb. Do you find that to be the case? And what is the source of the pain, is it in the bone, end of bone pushing against skin, or the fact that the nerves end up tied off in that area? Thank you!

Well HI! I would first like to thank you for asking legitimate questions. I haven’t been on tumblr lately because there have been several strange people asking me personal (sexual) questions that make me uncomfortable. Quite honestly, they’re offensive and it put me off.

So, I actually want to answer YOUR questions! :)

My first amputation was only a partial foot and YES, it was traumatic and painful to apply body weight. My second amputation (below the knee) was considered elective and therefore A LOT less painful. In fact, I was able to walk with crutches the next day.

Source of pain could be ALL of those you suggested… in the bone, end of bone (distal end) pushing against the skin after the muscle atrophies, and also the nerves. The nerve pain became significantly less over time. However, the pain in the bone and on the skin, is hardly noticeable once your prosthesis fits your properly.

I hope that I was able to answer your questions adequately.

Thanks!

pisceshoroscopes:

Other people’s indecisiveness could leave you feeling frustrated and stuck today, Pisces. Realize that you can overcome this by pushing past them. Don’t feel like you need to wait for others to make up their minds before you act. Do what you need to do and others will catch up when they’re ready. You aren’t responsible for the well-being of others. Concentrate on you.

Truth.

Ok to explain, Auggie knows how to jump on the bed by himself. However, when we are ready for bed and laying down he wants us to pick him up to sleep with us. He’s a strange little pup sometimes. This is what happens when we pretend to help him up…What a weirdo!
