EP2 – The Decision I Never Thought I’d Make — Choosing Amputation

In Episode 2 of Pain. Full. Truth., the story moves from hope to one of the hardest choices of my life — the decision to amputate. After my first surgery failed to bring relief and the chronic pain only grew, doctors finally mentioned the unthinkable: removing part of my foot.

I share the relentless symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), the endless medical appointments, and the emotional weight of letting go of the career I had built. This was more than a medical decision — it was about identity, survival, and the fight to take back control from nerve pain and a rare disease that was reshaping my future.

For anyone facing impossible medical choices, living with disability, or navigating invisible illness, this episode is a raw look at the reality behind those moments.
