Whether you’ve experienced loss of limb due to surgical or traumatic amputation, the loss of a limb can cause serious complications to your health and well-being. Victims of amputation injury may develop post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of a traumatic amputation and may require counseling to treat it. Amputation injury can leave someone with a permanent disability and require them and those around them to accommodate their loss of limb. Amputation also includes the removal of nerves, causing permanent nerve damage.
