Diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic amputation in the United States.

Diabetes affects circulation and nerve function. When blood flow to the feet is reduced and nerve damage masks pain signals, small wounds go unnoticed.

Unnoticed wounds become infected wounds. Infected wounds can become the reason someone loses a foot, a leg, a life as they knew it.

It doesn't have to end that way.

Early intervention, wound care, and vascular treatment can save limbs. But only if people know what to look for and have access to care.

This is why LLMH exists. Not just for after. But to help the community understand the before.

We'll explore topics including:
✨ What to expect during the first days and weeks
✨ Preventing contractures and protecting the residual limb
✨ Strengthening, balance and mobility
✨ Desensitization techniques
✨ Preparing for a prosthesis
✨ The prosthetic process
✨ Home and outpatient physical therapy

8 million Americans have Peripheral Artery Disease. Most don't know it.

PAD happens when plaque builds up in the arteries, narrowing the passages that carry blood to your legs and feet.

Less blood flow means:
Muscles that cramp when you move.
Wounds that stall and won't heal.
Tissue that starts to die from lack of oxygen.

The risk factors are common: diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, family history.

The tragedy is that PAD is often preventable. And when caught early, limb loss can be avoided.

Less Leg More Heart was built in part because not everyone gets that early diagnosis.

Share this post so someone who needs it sees it.

MYTH: Leg pain and cramping when you walk is just part of getting older.

REALITY:

It might be. Or it might be your circulatory system sending an urgent message.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs. Over 8 million Americans have it. Most don't know.

The symptoms look ordinary:
Leg pain or cramping when you walk.
Numbness or weakness in the legs.
Cold feet, especially one colder than the other.
Slow-healing sores on the feet or legs.

Left untreated, PAD can lead to critical limb ischemia and, in severe cases, amputation.

September is PAD Awareness Month. The LLMH community knows this story better than most.

Follow along this month as we talk about prevention, early diagnosis, and what life looks like after a vascular-related amputation.

James's spouse, Amanda, experienced limb loss with him when he underwent a below-knee amputation following a severe bone infection. She's been in the room for every hard day since- PT, recovery, everything after.

"It's not been so great for all of us, however God works miracles. We keep going and stay hopeful for our family through every challenge."

Strength doesn't only belong to the person living with limb loss. It belongs to everyone who shows up alongside them.
