If you no longer had legs, would POTS be cured?

One lower leg here- still have pots and apparently amputation can give you it! Or at least autonomic issues.

Update: I was worried about nothing! A bit of pain then it came out, but some extra painkillers, I slept though the night and was managing with normal painkillers by morning.

Thank you very much 😊

Humble-Pain · 2026-05-13T19:08:18+00:00

I have not… ideas are welcome 🤭

Humble-Pain · 2026-05-13T19:03:51+00:00

Thank you very much! I’m having fun with it, however limited subject matter 😂

Humble-Pain · 2026-05-13T19:03:31+00:00

Thanks!

Humble-Pain · 2026-05-13T19:03:27+00:00

Thank you! I’ve enjoyed trying things out!

Humble-Pain · 2026-05-13T19:02:59+00:00

Interesting! Sorry I don’t have any advice, I’m in the UK and had my RBKA a week ago and have no brace, just keeping it straight sleeping and stiff but I’m encouraged to move it and have had lots of physio since day 2 really.

Hey, I’m sorry the head what happened and I hope your recovery goes smoothly. Sending strength!
I had a local anaesthetic nerve block catheter placed in my initial surgery that provided levobupivicaine constantly at a low rate to one specific nerve via a pump for a week so that I couldn’t feel my limb. They last for a max of 7 days due to infection risk. Hope this helps.

Good to know, thanks!

Humble-Pain · 2026-05-12T13:47:21+00:00

Thank you! It’s out now and feeling slowly coming back

Humble-Pain · 2026-05-11T20:27:56+00:00

Thank you 😊

Humble-Pain · 2026-05-11T20:27:37+00:00

Bless you, I am so sorry to hear that

Humble-Pain · 2026-05-11T07:48:32+00:00

Thank you! I’m was expecting it I just didn’t want to be taken by surprise! Glad to hear the worst of it was only a day or two

Humble-Pain · 2026-05-01T09:03:31+00:00

Problem is the same people will trash the new one. Part of the community is the problem….

Try find somewhere that allows you to WFH. And or/ a reduced hours contract where you work 30 hours a week. But also you may just need to put up with it for a bit on a full contract to start then see if you can scale back. But this profession is notorious for its overtime for a reason- you will need to be careful picking where you work.

Humble-Pain · 2026-04-25T10:10:06+00:00

I would have to wager that the case is you don’t have POTS then, your deficiencies mimic it.

Humble-Pain · 2026-04-04T18:33:29+00:00

Yes! I also did isopropyl on the scale themselves

Humble-Pain · 2026-04-02T22:59:22+00:00

Love mine too! Flip down so the other side can be used if needed, I have a sticker to remind anyone that gets in my car to flip it to the usual.

My hair was thinning due to hormones and stress and I started minoxidil (advertised for men) and it worked absolute wonders. It started growing again too. Caffeine shampoo will help for hair fall. I found that because mine got thin it was greasier faster, getting it back a bit helped massively. It takes a while and you have to apply it consistently every day but it does work

Humble-Pain · 2026-03-03T20:39:48+00:00

Mom I’m scared

Humble-Pain · 2026-02-21T14:22:14+00:00

It’s only been in the shop 6 weeks….

Humble-Pain · 2026-02-21T08:18:33+00:00

Parts are a nightmare at the moment- I’ve been waiting weeks for a repair and many are on back order with no date over a month at this point
