Im so sorry to hear of the pain that your going thru. I would encourage you to really research amputation on an rsd limb,,Most everything that ive read isnt good, One site said that you must amputate above the flare line,,so in a case sernario,,if you had rsd a littler past the knee, and cut off the leg only to the knee,,the rsd still will spread,and most likely be worse due to the surgery.. But one woman had her leg amputated,but the posting of what happened,stopped,,,be carefull,,Im not talking you out of an amputation,,but just to fully exhaust all options and the repucussions,RSD is unpredicatable,,I'd fully exhaust every avenue with everyone and every dr That i could get an opion from,,thats a very serious step,,,But I do see why and understand why you are considering it,,,,,Best wishes ,,and Pray on the matter and ask God to give you an answer,,,He will answer you,,that im sure of,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,bobber,,,
