My boyfriend has CRPS and he wants to amputate his leg. I am supporting him in his decision but I don't think it's the right one. I haven't told him this. I'm scared that if he amputates his ledlg the crps will spread to his upper leg and create more issues. He hasn't tried any official treatments yet. He has thought about amputation for 2 years now (before diagnosis) because he can't feel it and thought the nerves are dead but they're not. I still think there's hope to recovery without amputation. I agree that if treatment doesn't work he should consider it. I don't want him to regret losing his leg and then think what if. Should I tell him how I feel or is it selfish? I can't fathom the amount of pain he is going through. Thank you for the help!
I’ve definitely thought about it. It’s a fear that I will get to that point in my pain. My physiotherapist made a good point when I mentioned this that I could still experience phantom limb pain which is also awful.
