Ten years ago EM started. It continued to get worse. A year ago I had both feet amputated. Now I am getting around very well. THANK YOU LORD. Pain is gone, cold room is gone, fan is gone. Trips to the wound center is gone. The TEA association and Mayo Clinic highly recommend you NOT get amputated. I have an EM friend in Michigan that had this amputation and I followed him. He is a basketball coach. I do have phantom pain. I can't run. But am going to the gym 4 days a week and PT once a week. Go to church, grocery store. Life is much better.
