RE: Self-Care for Post-Amputation of a Leg

in #orthopaedic7 years ago

Awesome post right here.
Self care is very important as we are responsible for our health.
I will like to chip in a thing or two.

  • As an amputee healthy eating is very essential to your general health, and should be taken very seriously.
  • The need for exercise. Starting and keeping a healthy exercise routine makes your muscles stronger and healthier, increases the range of motion in the joints, Strengthens your heart, Improves your balance, Helps with pain control, especially phantom pain, prevents contractures, and minimizes stress during prosthetic fitting.
    All of these things will make you stronger and give you more energy for everyday activities.

Thank you @eetyudeme.

keep up the good work
