A member asked:
I hear horror stories of people getting their foot amputated bc they didn't exercise & blood didn't flow right. can this happen if youre young below30?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Horror Stories: There are horrible stories about lower extremity amputations.....To ease your mind, you should see your family physician or podiatrist and relay your concerns and allow them to review your medical history, your family medical history, smoking history, etc and perform a physical exam and evaluate your blood flow to your legs and feet. A healthy 30 yr old should have no reason to worry amputation !
