Rachel’s experience
Life after osseointegration
Osseointegration has been life changing for me. I no longer dread putting on my leg in the morning and I don’t have to constantly worry about how far I have to walk.
I used to be obsessed with planning how to get as close to places as possible by car so that I could minimise the distance I walked, and this took up a lot of headspace.
Recently, I walked 12 miles—it was fun, I had no pain and I enjoyed the views of the countryside.
The psychological change is just as significant as the physical one. I just don’t need to worry about walking anymore.
