I used to beg my doctors to cut my entire right leg off. About every 3 months I would sit there and cry and beg....so much so that the doctors would be in tears.

Finally I was told by the top neuro doc, and my family doc that it will not help. But would probably increase how fast it is spreading into my auto nervous system.

Plus the phantom pain would likely be there, and be just like if you had the hand still there. I think I would get several opinions before doing anything radical, and this coming from the guy that begged for it.

Once I learned the risks, and that most likely the pain wouldnt end at all. It didnt make sense to lose the body part.
