Leg amputated

Same!!! I searched "Transabled" and this was the 4th video on the list.

Same

I'm offered "Rap" music ALL the time and I don't listen to ANY music on YT🤔.

I mean, BIID is also a very real neurological condition.

Right you are! I came here looking for info on BIID. This lady opted to have her leg amputated for reasons that had nothing to do with BIID. Hers was a brave, unavoidable at best, decision anyone, who WAS normal physically, would ever have to make.

I am surprised they can't just numb that leg so there is no feeling with meds and then you just walk without pain in that leg.

​@@whispercars306you're not very bright are you?

@@4rumani You can take strong pain killers that mask the pain in the leg, giving you the ability to use the limb.

@@whispercars306 i think it’s partly a safety hazard to just walk around unable to feel your leg. What if you stand on a rusty nail and don’t realise for way too long?

I can tell you that the pain meds help with pain but do not in anyway make you pain free I have the same thing she does and it is crippling pain. I am having my leg removed in February or sooner if they can get me in

Nice supportive statement from someone who names themselves a Slur

@@kermittfroggy2975 thank u

The title isn't misleading, she literally did choose to have her leg amputated. The fact that you prejudged her based on the title isn't the title's fault, it's yours.

Feels like you live a life directed by bigger purpose than most of us. Your honesty’s inspiring - viva

how are you now after the amputation?

BIID is a mental disorder. The sufferers have no control over it and it is very debilitating.

@@coda7626 seconded, it isn't a choice or "disgusting" at all

don't call disabled people inspiring for just existing, its so belittling.

That would be hot

@@arthurmead5341 laughing my fu$kin a&& oof????

How are you doing a year later?

What’s even more sad is watching your child suffer with severe chronic pain that comes from CRPS that she had, and risked still having to some degree with phantom limb pain.

Team up with another amputee & go halfsies

Nerve blocks won't stop tissue from dying. Sepsis could set in.

@@Blissfulnessence You what? The specialist said the leg was perfectly normal healthy tissue. The problem was in her head.

@@transamination Th8s was a year ago. I don't even remember context here. 😬

​@@transamination what? She was bedbound with a chronic pain condition did u even watch any

​@@transaminationit's not in her head actually, the problem is in her nerves and nervous system. CRPS affects the vascular system as well and can lead to ulceration and infection

Andrew bless you champion absolute legend

@@mtube1720 Thank you for your nice words. Although I'm not fully understand her decision, my neighbour put himself on a railway track and he lost his left leg. Maybe I was a kind of his "weird inspiration". He always adored my wheelchair.

@@AndrzejLondyn What do you mean

@@adonaiyah2196 thx I corrected it.

@@AndrzejLondyn though I don't think he should amputate himself you are an inspiration

what? you anticipated she’d only have one leg? it’s in the title dude

Please explain

one that considers quality of life that doesnt have someone in pain like they where.

A doctor who has gone to school and understands the benefits of this procedure, and not some random on yt with an opinion

No one said she was healthy. Did u base all ur Intel off the title? She was in chronic pain and bedridden from a severe injury.

like she said, the Complex regional pain syndrome

CRPS essentially means your body treats the effected limb like an invader and evokes a immune response (swelling, the blotchy skin you can see on her leg etc), as well as literally changing they way our brain is wired with regards to that limb. For me, this means I have poor proprioception of my left leg, agonising pain like someone has shoved a nail through my heel, I can't feel most of my foot and the bit I can feel currently feels like it is located about 3 inches to the right of where it is. I have phantom pain in a limb I still own. My sleep is disrupted nearly every night due to pain and I haven't walked without crutches for a decade. It is not a healthy limb at this point. There is no going back, no remission no positive outcome if you are left like this lass. For me, I'm pursuing the same outcome as the subject of this video. I'd rather lose the limb, have a prosthetic foot that I know I can trust and in the longer term walk without crutches, able to hold my girlfriend's hand. Little quality of life things that add up to being more able with less body.

Exactly my thoughts.

as someone who's trans and being faced with a decision to amputate a limb due to medical reasons (although undecided), this analogy is bs. both of these are for life improvement, transitioning makes one more comfortable with their body, and improves mental health. And chosen amputation can be for many reasons, in this case of the video its due to the pain of having the limb. you are very uneducated on both topics.

C. Lincoln you okay?

I don't think a real documented person can fake an amputation.

Take your meds
