If an injury results in a loss of a limb then the consequences are both life changing and traumatic. In many cases it leads to post traumatic stress disorder.

No-one can underestimate the devastation experienced by someone who has lost an arm or leg which not only affects their quality of life but of those close to them.

Whatever the cause of the injury the aftermath means months of lengthy rehabilitation, learning to use a prosthetic and adjusting to their altered circumstances. If this has happened to you then it means coming to terms with your injury and looking at ways of rebuilding your life.
