Amputations in Matunga, Mumbai, Maharashtra

Will I be able to walk again after a leg amputation?

Many patients regain mobility with a prosthetic limb and rehabilitation, especially with below-knee amputations, though outcomes depend on overall health and fitness.

How is phantom limb pain managed?

It's common and managed with medications, physical therapy, mirror therapy, and sometimes nerve-focused treatments; discuss persistent pain with your surgeon or pain specialist.

When can a prosthetic limb be fitted?

Once the wound has healed and swelling has settled, usually a few weeks to a couple of months after surgery, a prosthetist can begin fitting.

Is amputation always permanent and irreversible?

Yes, so it's only recommended after limb-salvage options like bypass surgery or aggressive wound care have been genuinely exhausted.

What kind of rehabilitation is needed?

Physical therapy, strength training, and prosthetic training are essential and typically continue for several months to maximize independence.
