I'll inquire tomorrow (we Zoom meet on Tuesdays) and ask him if he would be willing to communicate with you. He is such an inspiring guy. Not sure of his age, possibly in late 40's.
I can share that, from my research, I've learned that majority of doctors do not lean toward amputation. I'll look for those links and share them with you, so you can have their reasons for not removing limbs.
I also learned from a female member that her extensive CRPS has affected her TEETH. That was a huge scare for me since I've had gum and dental issues that have gotten worse over the last three years (and June marks 4 years since diagnosis of CRPS in ankle/foot). I see my dentist tomorrow because my bone structure and gums on lower right have been painful and changed in shape/girth around a crowned molar. I have a partial which I've had to remove after each meal because if I leave it in place, I will be in agony when removing it: gum gets deeply indented, raw and at times bleeds. My fear is that he'll tell me that the crowned molar has to be removed; it has cost so much money already just trying to save it since the partial clasps onto it. I'm resigned to that, not going to angst over that which I can't control. I'm coping with central nervous system disorders, and awaiting input from MS specialist before addressing just what if any course of medication I would consider taking. Needless to say, all of these pressures, etc., have seriously impacted on my depression and anxiety disorders. A great deal on my proverbial plate for sure🤔.
