The Challenges Of Living With An Amputation
Living with an amputation has various challenges, both immediate and long term. Victims face extensive medical treatment, including surgery, prosthetics and physical therapy.

Additionally, the financial burden can be overwhelming, especially if the injury prevents you from returning to work.
