What are the causes of amputation, and how does recovery work after losing a limb? - #14710
I recently heard about someone who had to undergo an amputation, and I was shocked to learn that it can be necessary for many different medical reasons. I don’t fully understand what leads to amputation or how people adjust to life after losing a limb. What exactly causes amputation, and why is it sometimes the only option? I read that diabetes, severe injuries, and infections are common reasons—does that mean most cases are preventable? Also, how does the body adapt after an amputation, and what are the challenges of learning to use prosthetics? I also want to understand the emotional and physical recovery process after amputation. Do physical therapy and mental health support make a significant difference? Are there Ayurvedic treatments or herbal remedies that help with nerve pain and healing after limb loss? If anyone has experienced amputation, what was the cause, and how was the recovery process? Did you adapt quickly, or was it a long journey to adjust?
