    this choice is up to you.


    my grandfather served in WW2. he was POW and during his time, he had bullet wounds in his upper and lower leg, and lower back. it wasn't until the 80's that something went wrong and his leg needed to be aputated. maybe it's cause he was older, maybe cause medical science wasn't as good, but he kept complaining of limb pains from part of his leg that was gone. they seemed pretty bad from his reactions that i saw.

    there are prostethesis that allow the user to run, with or without knees, replica legs, and i've even seen in a documentary about the topic electronic limbs that hook up to your nerves and can react in a semi useful way. the one they were showcasing the amputee had his arm removed above the elbow and he wanted to stay in the service and help around the house. this limb allowed him to move the elbow, rotate the wrist in 360* motions, and clasp items in the hand. it did take training to get used to the limb, but he thought it was useful and worth it.

      well, I have a weak knee because its been trashed a few times, I know its not really near what youre dealing with but I go to the gym to strenghten it. Mabye you could go to the gym and start VERY light and just build some power in it.

        yes, the phantom pain is one draw back.

          I know I'd never be able to live without one of my limbs. It's up to you as to what you're comfortable with. I'd seek every possible way to build up the leg as Skittle suggested.
