Hello, my name is PEDSnurse.
I have been an active BKA since age 5. 10 years ago I had to balance the decision of Work/Painmanagement
It’s difficult yet I found a balance. It changes as I age. Wanting to discuss with others Re:Balance.
FYI: I am an x-Mayo
Employee from the MotherShip.
I do miss Rochester…

Hello @pedsnurse, Welcome to Connect. I can't imagine how difficult it has been to deal with pain since age 5. I'm sure you are not alone dealing with pain management. @eyount1959 mentioned BKA and phantom limb pain in another discussion here and may have some thoughts or suggestions to share - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/744348/.

I did a search of Connect and found other members who have posted about phantom limb pain that might be helpful to read what they have shared - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=phantom+limb+pain.

Do you mind sharing what has helped you find some balance as you age?
